Government Reform
The 2016 election was certainly a historic one filled with surprises such as Donald Trump pulling out a whimsical win. The election showed how Americans are truly fed up with the American government as we saw an immense amount of support for two candidates that wanted huge government reform these two being Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.

What happens is not that people are treated more fairly, but the government has a way easier ability to abuse its actions and censor from the people. That is not to say it doesn’t happen in the United States but it is immensely more difficult.

They would first off have to get all three branches to agree on it, get the media not report it, and then get the people to support it. While a socialist can pay off the media due to it controlling cash flow and cover it up from the people. The fact it was pulled off in the United States in World War 1 is with acts like the Sedition Act is terrifying to comprehend the unseen going on in a socialist
