  Anyone who still believes that the U.S. is a democracy should can’t educate themselves, **or be educated by others.

    I’m afraid you completely misunderstand what dictatorship means. The U.S. has been an oligarchy for a long time, because the citizens have allowed it and continue to do so to this day. Now, as a logical consequence, the screws are being tightened. If there were still one last chance, resistance would be called for right now. But since that isn’t happening, it will come down to what you’re already mistakenly assuming.

    I’m sorry to have to say this, but the current situation is only the beginning.

      Where exactly did I display a misunderstanding of dictatorship? I agree with your general point, but your patronizing tone over red herrings gets a downvote.

  It’s so infuriating American’s seem to be lost in the woods. “It’s totally fine, we have checks and balances, the system can’t be subverted”.
