Not since a year or two after Citizens United.
Also, in case you didn't notice, the world's richest man just about bought the presidential election by spending over a quarter billion dollars.
As of 2024, a representative strong-executive democracy with a large authoritarian leaning and an unhealthy obsession with oligarch-worship.
In 2028, who knows. The current president told his supporters that in four years, they won't need to vote anymore, whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean.
Concentrating power in the hands of the few is certainly a good way to get an oligarchy, which is what the "checks and balances" system of the US government is supposed to prevent. It's strange to see so many people wanting the president to have more authority and power, but I guess it's a response to Congress's reputation of being dysfunctional and refusing to compromise.
This feels like a fast track path to an oligarch system ? Pay enough and get your exception..
