Sweden’s V-Dem Institute warns that the US is no longer a liberal democracy. And autocracy is creeping across Europe too, says writer Martin Gelin

That was the plan since he descended down his gold plated escalator.
We’ve been screaming that for years and it’s happening, bit by bit the Untied States is committing another fucking holocaust, and nothing is being done to stop it
No shit.
And it’s getting handed to him since he’s too much of a moron to get there himself.
That is a soft soap. It’s not the president, it’s the party. The party has been working towards this for decades, half a century. Stop weak sistering it guardian. (although I appreciate you being there.)
It’s not like he said it verbatim, on record, multiple times right ?
The only one I’m aware of is him saying “sometimes you need a dictator” when criticized by other world leaders who called him a dictator at some global politics event thing- are there others?
In July 2024 Donald Trump told a crowd, “Get out and vote! Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore! Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore.”
Isn’t it already? It’s not like anyone is really holding him to account.
Currently kinda the last hope of things being resolved through Democratic systems is the midterms. Ultimately, I guess we’ll see how they play out
And when the midterms pass and Trump solidifies his dictator status, will something finally fucking be done about it?
If the midterms pass and hes unable to control them, the representatives coming in having a majority are the hope that something will happen to wrestle control back from him via democratic means.
Time will tell to what extent trump will be able to compromise the election, to what extent progressive candidates will gain a majority, and to what extent they exercise whatever level of control they get.
Duh, he said so.
