I think Cyberyeti's point is that there's lots of overlap in the US in the US. You'd normally expect oligarchs in a democracy to be intelligent, as that's usually a prerequisite to become really successful (even super-villians are usually geniuses). But Trump defies that expectation. He has strong people skills, making him a successful charlatan, and he used this to parlay family money into a successful career in real estate and now politics. And he's surrounded himself with other *****s who are basically riding his coattails.

I'm thinking of people like Kennedy, Hegseth, Noem and Bondi

I'm guessing the only acceptable form of government for da possum is anarchy.

I believe in self rule and respect for human rights
Some anarchists just want trouble
To my understanding of Greek I am an autocrat
Libertarian perhaps

But the US has a kakistocracy, and certain sectors seem to rejoice in that

Funny thing. A few days ago I asked AI what rule by the worst was called. This zeitgeist thing
