Enough people care to vote in corporatist and/or fascists into office because the people are constantly bombarded by corporatist propaganda.

I'm afraid a "public inquiry into China's influence campaign" won't help anyone when the politicians are seeking bribes. If every single one of your politicians is rotten to the core like that, then it means the call is coming from inside the house, so to speak.

(Disclaimer: Fuck the CCP, this statement doesn't exonerate the Chinese government from their dubious activities)

? Why so? They seem relatively reasonable from what I'm seeing.

Man fuck the Texas government. I'm glad you're doing well but I really wish some heads would've rolled from that.

They know why they support him, they just fear the repercussions for saying it out loud (it's fascism).

Guess it's time for someone to make a fortune on electric blankets?

Police are free to lie in courts as well, unless there is a specific police officer on trial as the defendant. It might be illegal in theory, but in practice, police get so much protection from police "unions" that they cannot be held accountable for lies they tell in court (again with the exception of a specific officer as the defendant).

I say "unions" because their position of power puts them at odds with every other union in the country. They are not unionized against corporations, they are unionized against citizens. Police "unions" are de facto an arm of the government's will to illegally and violently revoke the rights of the worker class.
