I Can’t Believe We Call This a Democracy

I can’t believe we call this a Democracy.

We voted, sure.

But did we really end up with a president?

Or do we now have a king?

Sure, his term is said to end in four years.

But even if it does, the injuries he’s given our country will never heal.

They will scar, maybe even fester.

And I find it likely that, this man we call our president, will find a way to keep ruling.

To stay a king.

A dictator.

So yeah.

I really, really can’t believe we call this a Democracy.

Immersing myself in a world of roleplay, where I'm whoever I want.

Miniature computers, larger dopamine receptors.
Harder to get content and joy.
