"The Dismantling of Democracy: A Grim Projection of American Fascism Under Trump" "The guardrails of democracy have been blasted into dust. The Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity grants presidents carte blanche to commit crimes as long as they act within their “constitutional authority.” Welcome to gangster capitalism. Trump, the convicted felon, white nationalist, white supremacist, and aspiring dictator, can rest assured that his dream of unaccountable power will be realized if he is elected in November." www.counterpunch.org/2024/07/05/the-dismantling-of-democracy-a-grim-projection-of-american-fascism-under-trump/ |

Democracy doesn't appeal to the so called right wing / republican [in America today] because it allows a level of freedom of the individual and their rights that is too open and too free. It also incudes a respect for everyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity or religious orientation. Many Trump suppoters would prefer Iran or Russia as freedom is too complicated for them. Freedom and democracy go hand in hand. Bias and control are the tenets of America's right / Trump's appeal today. We will have our first woman president as Americans love their democracy and their freedom to be themselves. ' What is the perfect definition of democracy?a. : government by the people. especially : rule of the majority. b. : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections."" ' Democracy Promotion & Human Rights '"Article 1 states: “The peoples of the Americas have a right to democracy and their governments have an obligation to promote and defend it.” It also states that: “Democracy is essential for the social, political, and economic development of the peoples of the Americas.” The Democratic Charter defines the essential elements of representative democracy in very specific terms, including: respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms; holding free and fair elections; a pluralistic system of political parties and organizations; separation of powers; independence of the branches of government; freedom of expression and of the press; and constitutional subordination of all state institutions to the legally constituted civilian authority." usoas.usmission.gov/our-relationship/policy-programs/democracy/ |
