Gilded Theocratic Corporate Empire -or- Constitutional Democracy?
by The Old Hippie, Seeking The Reality-Based Perceptions of Reality

This historic election is about nothing less.  All of the references to, justifications for, allegories, metaphors, similes, and reasonings concerning this current administration's direction toward, and similarity to past histories of nationalistic, fascist, imperial, "gilded robber-baron," and/or radical theocratic corporate empires have been exposed in detail - for all to see, watch, read, understand and absorb - Yet, it seems that at least 1/2 of us Americans actually want this "new" America, or at least seem to - believe - that this obvious theocratic corporate empire would be better than our 228 year old constitutional democracy.

If you believe it is about anything less - You have been living under a rock.
