So they have a moronic neo-Marxist fascist vs. a moronic state-capitalist fascist as options for a figurehead ruler.

The Empire, its military, its intelligentsia, its media, its corporations, the deep state, and its ruling class (1%) all win, and everyone else (99%) loses. The outcome of every cycle.

Statist quo maintained.

Then, they do it all over again with different authoritarian, bread-and-circuses options in another 4 years. (Make sure you have extremely acrimonious conflicts about which vision of social domination and imperial order is best.)

Lather, rinse, repeat until you die.

The Powers rejoice.

Have fun voting... 😘✌️
