We are already living in a facist dystopia for decades by now. Politcs are just a show to make the masses think they have any saying on what happens to their country.

The real powerful people govern trough the shadows, pupetting both sides and laughting at the common folk. And I'm not talking about bilionaries or bankers, they also have to answer to the secret lords.

No, because the left wing and right wing belong to the same bird.

You're at once giving them too much and too little credit, while it's unusual to see a midterm result like this, it doesn't (for now at least) appear to have ended Trumpism in the GOP. Ended Trump perhaps, but that's not the same thing. And honestly, I sincerely doubt they'd have managed to get anything done except propaganda without the presidency anyways. As it is, as sad as it sounds, we're going to have to keep voting ad nauseum against this nonsense until people drop the whole attacks on democracy idea.

On the plus side, the participation is an implicit endorsement of American democracy though. In a lot of ways this is a sort of 'social trust' issue. Democracy is basically just people willing to work through the system, which requires expecting the system to be at least minimally above the board.

I think Conservatives are more likely to reach out and try to block/undermine AI rather than use it for evil

I love how Americans love to dehumanise each other over politicians that are bankrolled by corporates. Interesting.

Listen, I’m strongly opposed to the modern GOP, but calling them a fascist dictatorship is just as painfully stupid to hear as Republicans calling the moderate left socialists and communists
