Or USA 🤭 they just killed their democracy hard
What's with the consistent amount of "American Democracy is dead" rhetoric I've been seeing lately? It's not like Trump is president yet. And sure, Biden isn't going to make too much impact as a lame duck, but even after Trump takes office again, there's a lot he can do, and a whole lot more he won't be able to. The power is still in the hands of the people, especially at the local level. America's democracy isn't dead, and saying anything of the sort is obeying in advance.
Have you seen Project 2025, Trump's unofficial but kind of official election plan? Republicans have all three branches of government now. They would have to willingly choose to not follow their own proposed plan, and there's no reason to do that. So, logically, they will execute it - and that's it. The end of US democracy.
Go read it or summaries of it if you think it's hyperbole.
It’s not a bullet list or headline so they’re going to continue to ignore all 996 pages of it.
