Oligarchy has existed in the US since its inception. Fascist oligarchy is what has arrived.

There is no definition other than "everything right wingers don't like".

Be honest with yourselves. The gun is unnecessary, since you people are doing it completely voluntarily.

Which is even more suspicious, considering he does have a congress majority as well.

At some point all of the ignored court rulings will force him into a proper coup. Until then you are right.

Trump received 49.8% of the vote.

Even that is misleading, since this is just the percentage of the people who actually voted. More people didn't vote at all than voted for him.

You should read up on what majority means, because the majority definitely did not vote Trump. A case could be made that the people who abstained from voting in effect voted for Trump, and then a majority did vote for him, but it is nowhere near a majority of people who actually voted Trump.

Donald Trump has already called asbestos "100% safe". His cultist followers will eagerly become pro-asbestos if he tells them to. And he will tell them to if someone pays him enough to tell them so.

To be fair Americans are incapable of eating any food which aren't the texture of blended babyfood, so them being upset at a little texture in food isn't really that surprising.

Because the pyramid scheme is still going strong with them, exactly because new victims are continually falling for them. NFTs lost their hype so quickly that the flow of new victims basically completely stopped, and so the bottom went out of them much faster.

Essentially, when you boil it down, you can turn this into “it’s provable that individual X has possession of NFT identifier x,y,z”. It’s kind of like how you can have the deed to a piece of property in your desk, but that doesn’t prevent 15 people from squatting on it.

It isn't even that. It's is identifying which drawer in your desk the deed is placed, but there is no guarantee that the drawer contains the deed.

The exact same thing would have happened with an NFT licensing service. They would still link to obsolete servers. The problem is not a problem which NFT would solve, the problem is the problem of obsolete servers, which are very easy for adobe to fix without any useless NFT technology, if they really wanted to (but of course they don't)
