Three major reports out this month say Trump has done serious damage to American democracy at remarkable speed since his return to the White House.
An annual report from V-Dem, an institute at Sweden’s University of Gothenburg, concluded democracy had deteriorated so much in the U.S. that it lowered the country’s democracy ranking from 20th to 51st out of 179 countries.
The U.S. landed between Slovakia and Greece.
That’s what we hoped when Biden got into office.
What did Biden and his administration do to people like Trump, DeJoy, Pai .etc?
Nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing. “Oh but but, Biden TRIED to get DeJoy to step down!” No, not enough. He should’ve been tried and convicted for knowingly trying to sabotage a general election. He got to walk clean. Trump, got away with initiating a huge Insurrection, he got to walk free and is back in power.
So, no, I don’t hope anymore for whoever to come in and hold these people accountable. What they’re going to do, is allow these cretins to go running free, not serve jail time, not face any punishment and still run with the shitty policies to build on. You can only do so much through executive orders, too.
We’re fucked. The time to remedy more damage was 2024 and it was fucked up.
