Some have suggested that Trump is trying to create an American Oligarchy similar to the one in Russia. While I'm not sure I completely buy that, this list of supporters certainly should make one think about that possibility.

Actually, the most alarming part of Oliver's show was the details about Project 2025. If any conservative embraces that, and gets into power (including, but not limited to, Trump), that would spell the end of our democracy. Part of that "project" would be to classify a huge chunk of the civil service as "political appointees", whom then can be chosen (or removed) based on "loyalty", not competence or experience. THAT is when you get government that resembles Russia or China, or even DPRK.

Everything would collapse.

As I said, this isn't limited to Trump. If he loses in November, they'll just rename it "Project 2029". That is a democracy-ending document, if enacted.
