We solved autism boys! Mark that one for the brain worms! Maybe now if we end GM corn this piece of shit will get his voice back!
One thing that I think they may have missed in this analysis is erosion from the inside. Our supreme Court overturned or instituted a couple major rules that have allowed corporations to funnel billions of dollars directly to politicians with citizens united decision, then helped erode administrative functions of government by overturning Chevron deference. When you combine that shit with the way we allow corporate lobbying in the US, we're not even close to "democracy" in this shit hole. It's a corporate oligarchy masquerading as a republic/democracy. Corporations own this country, the government protects them, that bullshit you hear about the "land of the free" is about corporations not individuals.
More collective punishment from the "good guys"
US fealty to other countries over American interests every time. Israel, China, EU states, it doesn't matter. If it's good for the corporate hegemon - and because money is speech now - you get a predictable result. We're living through corporate oligarchy. One of the biggest corporations (by value) in the history of the world has its CEO siting in the Whitehouse directing our government functions. He's in charge of firing federal employees. It's clear as day, corporations run our government. Not reven a recent phenomena - lobbyist have been doing it forever with increasing success since Regan / 80s era. We're fucked, it's all downhill from here. The fall of the American empire is probably closer than we all think.
The Democrats are part of that machine. With few exceptions they are willing participants in the process.
