      It’s the political version of ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ … America killed democracy a long time ago and they’ve been parading around the dead body for years pretending that everything is OK.

      As the years go by it’s getting harder and harder to get people to ignore the rotting stinking corpse they keep dressing up in American flags and uniforms.

    Who says it survived the last war in the middle east?

    American democracy is an oxymoron

    Amerikkka has never been a real democracy. It just somehow keeps getting more dictatorial by the day.

    The other option is that they might survive, I guess. When did pure conjecture replace facts?

        Not so fun fact: Even back then, a certain Clarence Thomas was involved in the Supreme Court decision that prevented a recount of votes in Florida (source), which would likely have resulted in Al Gore’s election victory. And: Also even back then, this Supreme Justice was associated with a certain billionaire named Harlan Crow who supported him with various favors - he continues to do so to this day.

        I mean, that was the shot across the bow, but there was a democratic way forward. When democrats completely folded and then he was reeelected 4 years later after making every wrong decision?

        There hasn’t been a nonviolent way out of the US’s far-right problem in 20 years.

          Which means there is NO way out of the problem, because the citizenry against the armed forces will fail.
