Oh for a moment there I was beginning to doubt the direction of USA.
Well I guess it’s still full steam ahead to dismantle democracy and introduce an authoritarian dictatorship.

Yes we are, Trump is building up Hitler/Putin style. Taking control of secret and security services and using ICE too against both judges and police that object.
USA will not remain a democracy unless something serious is done within 3 years.

But even dictators with strong police and military backup can be overthrown if the people rebel in big enough numbers.
No security system can hold against the masses of the population.
It looks more an more like that’s where USA is heading. Maybe Trump is too stupid to see it, he may actually just be manipulated by people around and behind him, who really wants STRONG leadership, which they imagine means fascist dictatorship.

It’s scary how a country that for many many lifetimes claimed democracy as one its biggest virtues, can fall so far so fast.
It’s also scary how a country that consider the constitution almost as holy scripture, doesn’t give a shit about the most crucial cornerstones of that constitution.

Originally it was all based on the ideals of the declaration of independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights

And now weer have Nazi America.

The ruling class is decided by the majority, USA could change it any time they want to.
And I don’t mean by election with only 2 options.

IDK, this reeks of: Now we won a bunch of elections, so no need to continue the fight.
I would think the massive victories Democrats enjoyed, would have shown that the population support when the Democrats are fighting.
But apparently Democrats are incapable of staying the course, and are doomed to be trampled by the Republicans every time.

David Hogg was 100% right, Democrats need change, and to “to take on “ineffective” Democratic incumbents.” And the Democratic leadership preventing his efforts were a travesty.

Seems like USA has zero democratic parties represented now, as in parties that actually support democracy.

Nope, she is literally insane. And religion is based on delusions, so that’s insanity too.

You are absolutely right, USA is extremely authoritarian in many ways, towards children including their own, in all sorts of institutions. It is very much based on the might makes right mentality. The economic thinking is of course different with free market. But the authoritarian mindset is much like Stalinism.

I disagree, most people that are religious, are brought up with religion. Their ability for rational thought is compromised from childhood.

Lol hadn’t noticed my typo.
I’m leaving it to not ruin the joke. 😋

Religion is a form of insanity, but I think she would have managed to be insane without religion.

Religion is based on delusions without evidence, and the beliefs and practices are harmful to both individuals and society.
Ergo there is little difference between being religious to other forms of metal diseases.

Edit:
-mental diseases 🤣

Trump is delusional and thinks he can bend reality to what he wants to be real.
This type of delusional thinking is very typical in USA, based on the idea that if you want it enough you can make it.
This mantra has become so pervasive that some have begun to believe that you don’t even have to do anything to achieve what you want. If the wanting is strong enough, reality will bend to your will.
This is what happens in an anti science society where the mentality is driven by religion and superstition combined with desperation and a wish for ultimate freedom.
The idea is spread for instance through numerous self help books and prosperity gospel.

USA is a society that has gone collectively insane.

PS:
That doesn’t mean every American is insane, but as a whole American society is de facto insane. It’s obvious to see everyday in the news.

White House is now House of White Power.

It’s hard to be the antichrist without christianity.

joked about putting their political opponents in gas chambers, and threatened rape and violence.

The republican party is absolutely toxic, for decades the GOP has been the party where sociopaths congregate, and today you can’t really stay a member of the GOP without being a sociopath.

Way to go Jeanine Pirro, working to prove herself for the Nazis, and being a Nazi, before becoming the next Nazi victim.
How fucking stupid are these idiots?

No they are not both Republican, but they are both right wing.
But only one of them is fascist and anti democracy.

All the fascist Republicans crawling out from every creek there is. And dammit there’s a lot of them.
But it is no wonder, because you’ve had to be a psychopath for decades to be a Republican, and from psychopath to fascist is not very far.

E.g. the UK is seen as a “democracy”

It’s basically as bad as USA, and also a dysfunctional democracy. They even had the chance to change that in a public vote, and the idiots voted against it!!

A FAIR democracy is a democracy where all interest groups can have representation, although you typically have a lower limit of 2-5% vote to get representation.
And where every vote is counted equally, so a vote in 1 end of the country counts as much for representation as a vote in the other end.
And representation is according to the populous vote and nothing else.

My perspective is that I don’t see democracy as any more virtuous than authoritarianism as a political system when elected officials aren’t serving the people’s interests.

Well technically it isn’t really a democracy then, because their job is to serve their constituents.
Of course the worse the democracy the more that can be the case. And USA is a very bad democracy.
Still even that was way better than not having democracy until the Republicans went full blown sociopathic, and was still rewarded government power.
Something I suspect will only happen in a very bad democracy without equal democratic representation by minor parties.

Yes that is absolutely insane and undemocratic.
