    A light blue “flawed democracy” is a more accurate description. Whereas Russia is a dark red authoritarian regime.

    Things are rough in the US but they could get worse. Or better. It depends on whether or not people vote in every single election. Apathy breeds authoritarian regimes. Saying the country is a farce breeds apathy.

      I say it to remind people that ALL of those currently in power are incapable. A light blue Democracy is exactly what has allowed a fascist rise. By leaving these clowns in positions of power, the country DOES become a farce.

      If your response to hearing your country is slipping away from anything good is apathy, that very much sounds like a you problem.
