I'm not living in USA but I think people got exactly what they voted for, didn't they?
Now the question of it being an educated vote and people being equipped to navigate modern media with modern disinformation techniques is another subject.

Power and wealth control governments ... every government.
Once humanity figures out how to provide more equitable power and wealth to every person everywhere, then we might be able to evolve beyond jungle rules.
In the meantime, it doesn't matter what you want to call it ... communism, socialism, capitalism, liberalism, whatever ... as long as we allow unlimited wealth and power to flow to small groups of people, any system will always end up with the same results.
Genuinely curious, why are there rich people in China? Or why are the rich allowed to exist?
