i'm concerned about the political landscape in the USA. some elements of the republican party are becoming increasingly anti-democratic. the 2022 midterms could be an inflection point that leads to undermining elections in 2024. (or it could all be fine! but there's real risk.)

Sorry… but “becoming” is an understatement.

Since no one else in the replies is saying it - thanks, Sam, and thanks for the link.

I consider myself an optimistic realist and I don’t see us surviving until the Nov election. The current rate of entropy in the US government, let alone the RNP, is like nothing before in US history. Any chance of a functional truth checking AGI by then?

Do you think that there are elements of the Democratic party that are becoming increasingly anti-democratic?

Let's recall a progressive. That should fix it.

The new political paradigm is… Depoliticization of our civilization. Ostracization of value destroyers. Secession from value destruction. Implementation of the Prime Law in our governing bodies may be the most valuable thing that any AI tech can assist humanity with today.

Can you elaborate? What factions of the republican party are becoming antidemocratic and what are the policies they are pushing that would make the government less accountable to the people?
