Well I'd rather live in a US Oligarchy than a Communist Regime starving to death. At least as Oligarchs go Trump has shown himself capable, achieving under 3% in unemployment, inflation, and interest rates simultaneously, while at the same time providing a strong economy with adequate energy that allowed $1-2/gallon per gasonline as opposed to Biden's $4-$8. And wars, the lack of wars were really nice, I really want to see an end to the Ukraine/Russia conflict which is really a US proxy war with Russia in the Ukraine, and and end to the Irael / Palestinian genotide which is really an attempt to get us into yet another proxy war with Iran. So yea, if an oligarchy as opposed to a Communist regime is what it takes to get us there, I'm all for it.
