"Usurper Joe" is a name based on Trump's baseless fantasy that he won 
the 2020 election. Cursitor Doom does share Trump's enthusiasm for 
implausible fantasies.

The proposition that US elections can be fixed is another of them. The 
US is a decidedly flawed democracy, but the voters do have the final 
say, even if moneyed interests are allowed to  bombard them with all the 
misleading propaganda they can afford.

Trump was a disaster as a US president. His hopeless mishandling of the 
Covid-19 epidemic killed hundreds of thousands of Americans who might 
otherwise have survived. Boris Johnson did almost as badly in the UK.

Electing him again would be a mistake, but the US is full of gullible 
twits, as John Larkin keeps on reminding us. Cursiotr doom is no less 
gullible, but at least he isn't American.
