P.S., May make the guardian my go-to 'paper.'

What they fail to address is money and lax media regulation. Fox are allowed to lie and super PACS mean there's no limit to the amount of money that can be used to make people think. It's not democratic.

it's Trump all the time, and a peaceful candidate can't even get 2 minutes when he wins a state.

We don't have crap like that going on over here.

Trump, or “Chuanpu” as they call him in China, has been a gift to Communist party spin doctors paid to convince the country’s 1.4 billion citizens that rule of the people is a sure path to chaos and destruction.

“They are relishing this moment,” says Zhou Fengsuo, a US-based democracy activist who fled his native China following the deadly 1989 Tiananmen crackdown. “They are very happy. They are laughing over this.

“To them [Trump] is a good character to show the deficiencies of the democratic system, that such a person could become president. It is just unbelievable. Beijing is definitely gloating over this.”

if you push it you and your entire family disappear the next day, never to be seen again.

was more oligarchic it would be about the same as it is now (how could it be more oligarchic?) but with more violence because people would not think they had a button at the crosswalk so to speak, to push.

So whomever runs this country is smart to maintain the illusion of democracy.

Clean up your own house first.

And he isn't preferable to much.

China doesn't have a leg to stand on, but the "tough guy" pretty much writes their propaganda for them.

They are fearful of acknowledging for they too know they are rife with it. There is also a large underlying concept they are looking in a mirror that reflects as fascism. Aside from the window dressing one says it's a democracy and one declares communism both countries bottom line is business and country are one and the same, they come first, citizens come second.

USA! USA! USA!

Trump hasn't been elected dog catcher yet.
