    I’m not saying Trump isn’t awful, and things aren’t bad. I also clearly state democracy in USA isn’t safe yet.
    But Trump is failing more than he is succeeding.

    I am not American, but I really hope they will work to improve democracy. The concept of a president controlling the entire administration is both awful and not representative of the population. A democracy that result in a 2 party system is only barely a democracy.

        By the standards of what democracy is. Namely representing the will of the people. You simply can’t do that when there are only 2 options.

          so mild resistance and dirty looks that, in no significant way, are stopping Trump from destroying democracy and the world economy… got it
