United States Added to List Of “Backsliding” Democracies for First Time

Monday’s report from the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, inclusion of the United States’ addition to the institute’s 2021 list of “backsliding democracies” comes as no surprise.

Contained in the report, ‘“This year we coded the United States as backsliding for the first time, but our data suggest that the backsliding episode began at least in 2019,’ it said in its report titled ‘Global State of Democracy 2021.’”

However, for those of us old enough to remember the rise and fall of “McCarthyism”, which was rampant from 1950 to 1954, and the resurgence of young Americans’ political awareness during the 1960s and early 70s, this report out of Stockholm is about forty years late. In reality, democracy in the United States began “backsliding” in 1981 and slid at a constant rate for the next twenty years. The rate of “backsliding” took a big jump with the Presidential Election of 2000, and another in the days and weeks following the 9/11 terrorist attacks less than a year later.

But, our democracy developed a severe rot on January 21, 2017, and that decay grew much, much worse with the Big Lie preceding and following the 2020 Presidential Election and the January 6th insurrection.

With the trumpublicans attacks on voting rights in state legislatures across the country this year, coupled with Joe Manchin’s and Kyrsten Sinema’s invaluable assistance to the congressional trumpublicans’ goals, the 2022 Mid-term success of the trumpublicans’ fascist state replacing U.S. democracy is assured.

Adding speed to the nation’s democracy “backsliding” is the “dark money” able to buy influence in the USSC, the single branch of our government where political contributions are unwarranted and can be nothing other than bribery.

The “backsliding” of the United States’ democracy as described by the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance is not a recent phenomenon, it is a gross understatement.

This member of Congress wants everyone to know about the 'dark money scheme' that's 'captured' the Supreme Court

"Democrats have been overlooking the Supreme Court for a long time and are now getting a wake-up call," Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse said.

I can't take anyone serious who thinks the US is or has ever been a Democracy. This country is a Constitutional Republic. The state of the educational system in the country is horrifying.

The trump Nazis are blind to the fact that red state legislatures have passed laws that all but forbid black voters from attempting to vote. And they are blind to the corporate-owned "moderate" congressional Democrats (led by Manchin and Sinema) assisting the trumpublicans in destroying more voters' right by blocking the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021.

Yes, it is the GOP leading the way in turning the U.S. into a fascist state, and, unfortunately, the "moderate" Democrats are in lockstep behind them.

The trump Nazis believe this move to an authoritarian dictatorship will be a victory for the white male working class. But, they are in for a big disappointment. The white supremacist rank-and-file is comprised primarily by the ignorant white trash of American society. If these beer-swilling, NASCAR-loving, wife-beating, slobs believe they will be part of the fascists' privileged inner circle, they are even more stupid than the GOP has counted on for the past seven decades.

Please post a law from any State that stops Black people from voting.

No trump Nazi understands voting rights, so any more information would also be too high over your heads to make a dent in your rock-hard skulls.

Shitty dodge.

Go fuck yourself asshole. You said "I never said that", and then I proved you did say that. Like I said, the moment you're caught, you move the goalposts yet again, or you're joking, or some other excuse. Never take responsibility for any of the shit you believe or say.

no you actually never proved i said anything about the house

 

[Dragonlady]

no you actually never proved i said anything about the house

What I have proven is that you lie, use weasel words, and never take responsibility for your posts. You're like Bill Clinton saying "I did not have sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky".

Proving once again that you're nothing but a useless FuckBoi!

Conservatives hate democracy. We have to stay vigilant. The next Republican president could be the first US dictator.

Democracy allows morons like you to have a voice in our government, so what's not to hate?

What adds to the backsliding of democracy is when one party does nonstop political investigations of the other party, takes people's rights away, wants to end the filibuster, add blue states to the Union, wants to add seats to the Supreme Court, and wants to bring socialism to America.
