How precarious is American democracy at this time?

[kentuck]

Are we in a better position than we were on January 6th?

Or worse?

The assault upon our democracy did not stop on January 7th.

It continues today.

1. Immeasurably better -

knowledge is power.

[FoxNewsSucks]

3. Only if the people able to act on that knowledge

are willing to do so. And that remains to be seen. The masterminds behind the fascist assault are still free and continuing their work.

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. If you can't buy into bi-partisan elections systems, then you really don't believe in democracy.

[FoxNewsSucks]

4. Worse.

The clock is ticking.

As we're told all the time, we don't know what all is being worked on out of sight and may well bring the fascist scum criminals to justice. We also don't know if that is just rhetoric said with the intent of stalling us until it is too late.

I hope and want to see all the tRump criminals rotting in jail on death row like they deserve. But I'm not betting on it.

All we can do is wait and see which is true.

5. Jan 6 would have never derailed us...

It only delayed things a bit. We're fine.

[Cosmocat]

6. Its over

If they dont pull some shit next year, in 2024 if 45 loses they will alter it through the states, at that point (or if he wins outright) he will declare himself president for life.

7. Truth be told, I have an unsettling sense concerning much. Sorry to say. n/t

[Hoyt]

8. Think we'll survive, at least until mid-terms and 2024.

[colsohlibgal]

9. Pretty Much So

This could all go really South in a hurry if we don’t pass that Voting Bill. As it is we have to get past Republicans crying foul if they lose.....my guess is John McCain is spinning in his grave.

Dumpy Donnie dropping dead might break the spell. With his weight, diet etc it would seem to be a possibility soon.

10. if...

...elections cease to be valid and lies rule the roost then all bets are off...

...who's going to follow a fake right-wing government?

...we dodged a bullet January 6, we may not be so lucky next time...

11. The Republicans discovered there is no penalty for going the full Fascist

They have/will purge the remainder of Republicans that still believe in democracy, and will seize power when they have control of the military.

[Crunchy Frog]

12. Worse. nt

[CentralMass]

13. Worse, I fear.

[Fiendish Thingy]

14. Worse because of the state voter suppression laws passed since January 6

But potentially better of Dems can pass the Joe Manchin approved voting rights bill.
