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.
Congress removed a ban on arming and funding Nazis in order to arm Nazis in Ukraine, the last president violated domestic & international law to openly arm a genocide, and NATO has been openly pushing the Nazi agenda since its founding with Hitler’s former commander.
All that is to say, if you think it’s just a Nazi president or this is a recent change, you’re deeply underestimating how entrenched Nazis are in the current system, and you don’t appreciate just how many politicians are at least sympathetic to Nazis.
The system is not going to turn on itself and suddenly start fighting against the people who’ve crafted it to do this for the past 80 years. It can’t be reformed. It must be destroyed.
