Why not just come out and admit you want an authoritarian regime? Maybe some Oligarchy of pre-approved millionaires from the Fox News top 100 Douchebags list? If we aren't going to DEMAND more honesty and DEMAND more transparency and DEMAND Democratic progress then we should just give up any pretense of being an enlightened society and go back to killing eachother for whichever asshole happens to own the piece of land we're serfing on.
Obviously we can never achieve the perfect, so we must never strive for the good.
