Will America Survive Trump’s Destruction of Our Government?

There is no such thing as a 'democratic republic'. We do not have democratic elections. We have elections according to the constitution of that government formed by it. I do not want to eliminate elections. It is YOU that wants to destroy the constitutions and implement fascism by oligarchy. Inversion fallacy.

Cuba is a republic, not a democracy. They do not have democratic elections. They have elections according to the constitution of the government formed by it.

Back in 1971, Louis Powell, in his infamous memo, cited Ralph Nader and Rachel Carson as the villains who had started consumer safety and environmental movements. He warned that the growing call for regulations of the automobile and pesticide industries to protect American citizens from death and poisoning were “an attack on the American free enterprise system.“

Yesterday, Donald Trump authorized regulatory agencies to roll things back to where they were on and even before the Nixon administration.

With a big wet kiss to his billionaire funders in the fossil fuel, chemical, and other industries, Trump signed an executive order ordering the heads of every federal agency “to use any and all authority to waive, suspend, and eliminate unnecessary regulations that impede economic recovery.”

The chem industry pretty much has free reign to unleash new possibly dangerous products with very little oversight. They went to school on what happened to big tobacco and began huge political funding campaigns on both sides of the isle.

Corruption is as corruption does.

I think so. The answer is yes, probably, but the deep cuts to established institutions will represent damage which will take years to undo.

We really do need the anti-corruption act right away, but it will take years for that to finally come full circle and be implemented nation wide.

The chemical industry is what gives you plastics, computer equipment, clean drinking water, cleaner air coming from coal plants, methods of cleaning up oil spills at sea, paper, improved food supply through the use of fertilizers and pesticides, better health through medicines, more efficient use of hydrocarbons such as oil and natural gas, car batteries, lithium batteries, display screens that are more efficient than the old cathode ray tubes, catalytic converters, post it notes, marker pens, better lubrication products, paints for practically any purpose and color in the rainbow, insulation for modern electronics and electrical systems, stained glass, harder steel, stronger and lighter alloys, cleansers, adhesives, sealants, thermal insulation products, structural foam for anything from aircraft to store signs, carbon dioxide for sodas, liquified gasses for welding and special applications, ceramics for firebrick, dishware, and pots, non-stick coatings, water softeners, better concrete and asphalt products, fireworks, explosives, quieter and more durable tires for our cars, and of course the chemicals used to manufacture the computer chips you are using right now to say stupid things like this.
