How to Destroy a Democracy
STEP 1: Control the Money. Why beg for loyalty when you can just buy it? Simply take control of taxation and spending. Want a country to support you? Hit them with tariffs!
STEP 2: Silence the Lawyers. Democracy loves legal nerds who insist on things like the rule of law. Boring! Make sure the biggest law firms know that representing your enemies comes with a hefty price.
STEP 3: Muzzle the Universities. Independent thought? Free debate? A breeding ground for dangerous ideas. Make sure colleges understand that their funding and ability to function depends on how much they praise you.
STEP 4: Keep Businesses in Line. Big industry has too much power. But don’t worry, with a few well-placed reciprocal tariffs, you can make every CEO come crawling on their knees.
STEP 5: Create the Problem, Then Sell the Solution. Make sure the economy is in constant turmoil. Nothing too devastating, just enough pain to make you the only person who can fix it. Then swoop in like a hero when you fix the very problem you created. Before long, people will be begging you to stay in power forever.
And there you have it, five easy steps to dismantling a democracy and securing yourself a lifetime of unchecked power.
So get out there and start crushing dissent! Just remember, if anyone calls you a dictator, laugh, say “No, you’re the dictator,” and then tariff them into oblivion.
Satire. Not satire.
