@FreeSpirit1 No arguments. But the fact is the U.S. now operates as a competitive authoritarian or outright fascist state, not a democracy. Elections may still occur, but they are increasingly hollow — institutions have been captured, opposition is criminalized, and state violence is directed at citizens. As one scholar put it:
“Trump has achieved in seven months what took Putin years”
You're entitled to your opinion. You believe we live in a democracy. You're entitled to your opinion and thanks for answering my question. Have a good weekend.❤
We never lived in a democracy no matter how much you try to spin it
We still have three branches of government each with different powers ... checks & balances
Congress is getting too powerful but you seem to be focused elsewhere
What democratic institutions has the current administration dismantled ?
The current administration cant be reelected
The government shutdown:
The Democratic Party, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, is blocking legislation until Republicans agree to their demands
The Republican-led House and Senate, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune have demanded that Democrats first agree to fund the government before negotiating on other issues.
Americans never lived in a democracy in the first place. The USA was originally set up as a Democratic Republic but no longer holds the values inherent of a true Republic. The Republican Party of America has been hijacked by an Authoritarian fascist Ruler, which means the US is now a two-party system comprised of the Democratic Party and the MAGA Party. The Republican Party no longer exists in principle.
