Democracy in the US is based on the separation of powers, and we no longer have that in any functional sense. It may well be that, if Trump and compliant courts meddle in the midterm elections to the degree that people’s votes are disregarded or “disappeared” and the Republican Party continues to control the House and Senate against the will of the people, it will take further nondemocratic, or nonconstitutional, measures on the part of some ad hoc “Deep State” to correct the situation and put the country back on the right path. US citizens are Homo sapiens just like people everywhere else in the world. The notion that we are exceptional in some way is ludicrous to say the least.
