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?

    Fidel didn’t necessarily trick anyone. People knew he was leftist of some sort, but they assumed he was just gonna be a vague populist even though his brother and Che were marxists lol, and he didn’t correct them. Liberals really are dumb

      Didn’t he kinda obfuscate his politics initially? I remember something about them getting a lot of support from us and us media in the beginning - I think the blowback pod mentioned it
