    That’s because the US is in “advanced” capitalism now, the rest are playing catchup.

    Plus, from what I’ve seen in the US regarding politics, elections, etc. in the last 10 years or so, is that US polititians (in general) are taking examples from late capitalism/democracy adopters, such as the eastern European block. I can tell you for a fact that some scams I’ve seen being done by polititians in the US were not invented in the US. They’re eastern block practices to drive up votes for one party or another, to distract the people from a certain fiasco, to stage a coup, etc. They’re just plays to keep the public defocused regarding real problems, make drama on purpose.

    I’m actually kinda surprised it took the US this long to see that these things can be used to control things regarding politics and the masses. It’s been common practice in most east European countries for the past 30 years or so.
