And a few days after that, PragerU releases a video titled "Why democracies will fail eventually", which tells its viewers that democracy creates "moral decadence", and now a "strong leader" is needed to fix the issue, who might have told some noble lies like a parent tells their kid the stork brings the children when they're not ready for reality. And the video ends with a "Roman salute" over "God Bless America".

Oh, but were not a democracy, were a constitutional republic hardy har har har har

"You’ve only been a democracy for only 50 years. Not unless you don't count black people... you are nearly as mature democracy as Botswana." - Lukas Matsson (Swedish guy) on Succession

We should have never had the status given we still use slaves.

The US is one of the most watered down democracies, even for a liberal democracy (which is severely watered down). Its a system where the needs of the many are filtered through the needs of the few. We dont need to "fix" liberal democracy, we need workers democracy (syndicalism).

"Could lose"? We are long past this point. When you can chose between two parties and they try to manipulate the election as hard as they can, then that's a zombie democracy at best. And now? The president stands above the law. He can fire people illegally. He can disable law enforcement. Democracy in the US is gone. Hopefully only temporarily. Now it's up to people to act, take their rogue government down and repair what can be repaired.

Damn. When Sweden (or any Nordic country) says it, it really hits hard.

"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…"

Winston S Churchill, 11 November 1947

America deserves to be recognized as a Third World Country. I say this as an American, it's deplorable how the citizens are treated.

America is lost. Do not let Elon near your country.

Could? ....should.

Has lost*

Trump's approval rating us TOO DAMN HIGH!

Anyone surprised by this? Anyone? Because I’m not.

Just publish an addendum and yank it. The great experiment failed. We’re cooked, chat.

Could? Do it now.

It lost that status a long time ago. We keep the veneer of it intact, though.
