re: #191 FFL (GOP Delenda Est)

There have been US political “dynasties”. But they could be viewed as rarer than in Europe and perhaps limited by the youth of the USA compared to the European nations.

The point I’m making is that the US has such dynasties today and they hold and exert real political power today. Pointing to what Europeans did two hundred years ago is an excuse.

There’s a direct familial connection between anti-British Congressman Joseph Kennedy who was probably connected to the German Nazi Party and RFKjr who is reportedly getting ten percent of the Presidential vote this coming November according to polls. Ditto for the Bushes, over seventy years of the members of one family holding many high-ranking state and federal elected offices purely on their name and the ability of their family’s consiglieres to put them into power. This doesn’t happen in most democracies other than, say, North Korea and the like.
