Trump exposed the weaknesses in American democracy

[Lakhota]

Donald Trump exposed the weaknesses in our system of government that could now be exploited by a corrupt leader with control of the White House. In this series, the Globe editorial board outlines the urgent reforms needed to prevent the rise of an American tyrant — and to protect our democracy for posterity.

A treasure map for an American tyrant

Donald Trump exposed weaknesses that a would-be dictator could exploit to end our democracy. It’s now up to lawmakers, voters, and public officials to prevent that from happening.

Now it's up to our political leaders to patch the holes to prevent others from exploiting them in the future.

On the one hand I am grateful that Trump exposed these weaknesses, but on the other hand I condemn him for trying to exploit them for personal gain.

What do you think?

I won't respond to such uninformed questions. Bye...

In other words you don't have a tangible list? you thought it would be an idea just to create a thread full of sound bites and hot air?

Yeah, normal people standing up to the Oligarchs.

That's why you Nazis are FORCED to establish a totalitarian dictatorship, to ensure the people never defy the rulers again!

I think you're a fucking unhinged kook, with a terminal case of TDS.

I have taken you off permanent ignore so you may read my updated OP.

They start by calling him a tyrant so that undermines just about anything else they want to try and claim in that article.

Besides, skim reading that article it's a conspiracy theory talking about his finances.

I want to see YOUR list of all these weaknesses, holes and exploitations not a crackpot article from the BostonGlobe calling him a tyrant.

"Our norms only go so far in protecting the democracy. Our laws only go so far."

From the OP:

"Democracies don’t die suddenly; they’re poisoned by strongmen who systematically chip away at checks on their power."

 

[Kondor3]

Nahhhhhhh... there is a valid point here... and it's on the Orange Baboon-God's head...

It's time to ensure that no future Piece of $hit ( Orange or otherwise ) can ever again attempt to overturn a general election...

It's time to ensure that those who supported the attempted coup... the Insurrection of Jan 6... go to prison for a very long time...

Traitorous scum...

From the OP:

Ultimately, Congress proved itself a deeply flawed check on an authoritarian president willing to break the law out in the open — and sometimes even admit it on national television. “Our norms only go so far in protecting the democracy. Our laws only go so far. Even our Constitution — as brilliantly written as it is — only goes as far as the men and women are willing to give its provisions meaning,” Representative Adam Schiff, Democrat of California, who served as the lead House impeachment manager during Trump’s first impeachment trial, said in an interview. “If you acknowledge, as many of the Republican senators did during the trial, that the House had proved the president guilty but you still make the decision to acquit, there’s nothing much that the Constitution can do to protect us.

If you hate America and white people so much, why don't you leave?

You clearly have no concern for truth....

Oh, that is SOOOOO fucking RICH!!!

 

[Lakhota]

The House and Senate are both currently investigating the previous threats to American democracy. Hopefully they can agree on how to patch the holes.

 

[EMH]

Whose truth?

Beaked birdbrains are only capable of parroting.

If the republican says 2+2=4 and the dem says 5, there are two "truths" and the life decision isn't to solve the equation yourself, it is to decide who to PARROT
