Governmental rule by the worst, the most despicable people.
Sometimes spelled "kakocracy", but meaning the same.
Given the decline of statesmanship in the U.S. government, and the corruption among the ruling classes, one could well define our rule as formerly a republic, but now a cacocracy.

While by law the U.S. is a republic, the government is actually a Corpocracy - democracy by the corporations. Corporations vote by paying politicians and political parties to put forward their agenda. The term is also endearing because of the similarity to the word "Hipocrisy".
Joe: I'm happy we live in a democracy.

Ed: Actually, the U.S. is a republic, do your homework.

DeShaun: Well, by law the U.S. is supposed to be a republic, but in actuality it is a Corpocracy - democracy by corporations.
