       “… and that’s how the rising fascist and Nazi movements in the United States led to the passing of Universal Healthcare, Term Limits for all elected officials in all offices, term limits for SCOTUS, mandatory lower and upper age limits for any elected officials, mandatory jail times and severe fines for any and all interests groups, and the passing of the Equal Rights Amendment,” said the history teacher to his students in 2123.

       @GayDeceiver In my dreams!  But it could happen.I would add to the U.S. Criminal Code: any politician or public official caught lying to the public in an official capacity.  (Penalty to be determined.)

       @shuttersparks @GayDeceiver Counterpoint. You can't criminalise lying because it brings the lawyers into parliament/Congress. Lying is notoriously difficult to prove but a good lawyer could oust a naive politician for the slightest mistake: a promise that went unfulfilled, or an unintended interpretation that can be seen to be false. We'd need a "Ministry of Truth" and you know where that leads...

       @shuttersparks @GayDeceiver Oh sure, on both sides of the pond we need tougher rules about who gets to be a representative and on conduct in office, eg your insurrection supporters and our drunken Covid lockdown revellers should be history but here we are.

       @shuttersparks @GayDeceiver Or creating deep fakes.Meanwhile, I'll be happy if we simply prosecuted public officials for felonies already in the US CC.
