You’d think a hegemony with a 100-years tradition of upkeeping democracy against major non-democratic players, would have some mechanism that would prevent itself from throwing down it’s key ideology.
Is it really that the president is all that decides about the future of democracy itself? Is 53 out of 100 senate seats really enough to make country fall into authoritarian regime? Is the army really not constitutionally obliged to step in and save the day?
I’d never think that, of all places, American democracy would be the most volatile.
The country just elected this guy knowing that this is what he would do. That’s democracy.
Efficient propaganda is not democracy
I’ll bite: What is democracy to you?
But gullible people voting or not certainly is.
And knowing that he’s a convicted felon. And twice impeached. And almost certainly a rapist. And a successful conman.
Democracy is when the people can remove anyone in office from office. American democracy is saying bribes are lobbying.
No democracy is perfect.
America’s is less perfect than many.
That said, Trump won the popular vote.
