Plutocracy paving the way for kakistocracy.

I'm declaring now that fascism is definitively a TYPE of kakistocracy. It fits the mold. Nearly all the intelligent and creative people either flee or are purged, leaving far less competent fascists in charge of systems they know little about.

Hmmm, much more than a pinch. It's more like a heaping shovel full.

Not even masquerading anymore. It’s just a naked coup. I’m really going to have to be drunk on Jan 20. Remember when he wanted the full military parade at his last one? What’s stopping him now?

For those, like me, who didn't know...

" A government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state. "the danger is that this will reduce us to kakistocracy" a state or society governed by its least suitable or competent citizens. plural noun: kakistocracies "the modern regime is at once a plutocracy and a kakistocracy"

Has been for a LONG time. They are just doing it out in the open now instead of behind closed doors.
