what if one day a presidential candidate that was bought and paid for by lobbyists got into the white house and then broke all the promises they made to their donors?
if a hypothetical closeted Marxist who tricked their corporate backers got into the white house what could they do with that power?
I mean, you'd need to keep up that kayfabe for a loooooong time to pull that off.
Best we you could get is a left-Bonapartist, probably a politician with an independent wealth or power base who gets pushed left by the course of events a la FDR.
one day pete buttigieg becomes president and his Marxist dad rules the country through him
