It’s not really that strange. The reason American democracy is in a failed state is because of SCOTUS decisions like Buckley v Valeo and Citizens United, which paved the way for unlimited bribe money to flow into politics.
The natural conclusion of that is the world’s richest man simply buying his way into politics to do whatever he likes, which in this case involved dismantling any investigation into his or his companies’ wrongdoing, and stealing financial data on all Americans from the treasury before dipping out into his Nazi K-hole.
In America, if you’re rich enough, you are the government. One of the many ways capitalism has failed us.
