Any autocracy really. It’s not as if there aren’t any around right now.

Also social media algorithms supercharging confirmation bias.

Elect a monster. Get a freakshow.

Define criminals? Oh, you mean poor and non-white people.

Only one fifth of US-Americans can’t read! Lets make it at least a forth for the next “election”!

Yes, just complete insanity. I have never seen Sean Evans look so worried for a guest’s wellbeing. And in the middle of his skit Conan still found time to compliment Sean’s questions.

And then there’s Conan O’Brien, who’s just generally hilarious.

E.A.Poe had similar concerns. He called the then hypothetical president “King Mob”. On the other hand, he was a fan of Andrew Jackson.

That’s actually true worldwide. Wanna see how an economy looks like after over 30 years of almost uninterrupted conservative leadership? Look at where Germany stands now. Crumbling infrastructure, worst Internet in Europe, industry unable and/or unwilling to open itself to modern technology (best example being the German car industry).

I mean, Camacho was also black, so definitely not a Republican president.

Totally with you.

Literally the 1984 playbook.

“Run”? I think the headline dropped an “i” somewhere.

Idiocracy would be an upgrade, it has a president who listened to people smarter than himself.

Well, we can always limit the damage because the damage only goes up if we don’t.

Oh yeah, that’s way worse! But it doesn’t make me very optimistic about Germany’s future either, even without the Trump tragedy.

Our current government literally just collapsed today so… yeah.

Also social media sequestering people in cozy filter bubbles that distort reality.

Social media, or more precisely, algorithms designed to create ever growing engagement by feeding into confirmation bias and only showing you stuff you like, have destroyed the ability of critical thinking in a majority of people.

This doesn’t only apply to the right spectrum either, as evidenced by all the “hopium” articles here and on r/politics that were trying to construct a blue win or even a blue wave when all polls pointed to a Trump advantage. I had fallen into that trap myself. And everybody was also smugly making fun of the articles in r/conservative predicting the same thing for Trump. Well, turns out they were right.

It will only incentivize Elon (and all the other filthy rich) to build air conditioned luxury bunkers guarded by AI killerbots in places like New Zealand.

Or maybe something like the titular space station in the movie Elysium, where they enjoy the newest medical treatments while looking down on the rest of humanity trying to survive on a planet that has turned into a helhole.

German here. The Supreme Court has already given Trump all the power Hitler got by declaring a state of emergency. The Weimar Republic actually had better checks and balances then the US has now.
