    We peacefully transitioned into a technocracy with a wanna-be dictator idiot at the helm.

    As an exercise for anyone reading this who doesn’t already know: How did Hitler got into a position of power? Look that up, don’t use AI, actually check up on that yourself.

      Just a dictionary thing, Technocracy != tech bro president:

      Government by technical specialists.

      A system of governance where people who are skilled or proficient govern in their respective areas of expertise. A type of meritocracy based on people’s ability and knowledge in a given area.

      When you call someone a technocrat, it means they’re more interested in research and quality than political debate

      Technically the Nazis lost that election, but the Conservatives who won turned around and handed power to Hitler, all to prevent the Left from gaining power.
