Whatever your political persuasion may be, the facts are that a felon, rapist, and insurrectionist who actively and very visibly tried to steal the last election just became president. And now oligarchs are falling over themselves to feed him money.

We are toast because our polity is brain-rotted. No sensible and educated society would vote these terrible people into power.

(Though to what extent democracy will unravel remains to be seen. Trump is stupid and ineffective and the country has been through worse.)
