At least with democracy we can get rid of dictators, if we spot them quick enough that is.
Trump is virtually a dictator now.

There was a Republican Senetor was asked on Channel 4 news last night, he was asked if the Republican party are onboard with what Trump is currently doing? A pause then well perhaps not all. Another question is are the Republican party afraid to confront Trump another pause
Yes!!!
Only way the USA will restore common sense and democracy is when the Democrats & sufficient numbers of Republicans pull together.
If Trump continues the way he is going he is going to cause a major world conflict, yes I know Mr doom and gloom.
He has weakened America so much , Putin is laughing at him , by weaken I mean he has lost the trust of Europe and other Western & Eastern allies.
On the news this morning EU & China to hold a meeting to discuss reducing Tariffs on Chinese EV cars and likewise on trade from the EU into China.
LEE KWAN YEW - addressing US Congress in 1985, very relevant today in my opinion.
