Forget "Word of the Day," Here's Your "Word of the Past Six Years" |
|
From www.dictionary.com:
kak·is·toc·ra·cy (kak'-i-stah-kr-see, käk-) n. pl. kak·is·toc·ra·cies Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.
{Greek kakistos, worst, superlative of kakos, bad; see caco- + -cracy.}

|
or would it be kakistheocracy? Corpotheokakistocracy may most closely identify our current state.
Democracy sure doesn't seem to enter into it.
