Democracy at risk on other planets.
On A Planet Far Away
by HarryT
On a planet far away, Liar convinced his adherents that he was their Divinely appointed savior. He demanded unwavering reverence, and those failing to give it faced consequences. His wickedness emboldened his non-elected partner to break laws and fire people and to give tax cuts to the richest people on the planet.
Truth and honesty long delayed infiltrated the minds of his disillusioned supporters. There was no denying the meanness of his orders resulted in chaos over the planet. At the Galactic Assembly, he supported an aggressor planet instead of his allies.
His answer concerning the truth was to jail the truth sayers. However, there may be hope if the people rise up perhaps the vines of justice will coil around his limbs and pull him down into hell. If people do not rise up and reject his cruel executive orders, they will be condemned to be ruled by plutocrats forever.
