In a real democracy what are the odds that these clans would rise to the top not once, but twice?

"Perhaps the clearest indication of sheer decadence, however, is the emergence of what can only be called "torture chic" in certain sectors of our ruling classes. That it is not universally considered bizarre and outlandish that a president and most of his henchmen would spend so much of their political capital on publicly gaining the "legitimized" authority to torture people, and that they would be able to carry along most of the major ruling political party and (apparently) the vast majority of the most self-conscious and eager-to-be-acknowledged "religious" or nominally Christian people in the country along with them in this clearly barbaric quest cannot be anything but a sign of decadence."
