1. La Democracia ya Está Perdida.
Una gran parte de los comentarios afirma que la democracia en Estados Unidos ya no es un sistema funcional, declarándola muerta o irrecuperable, y que la lucha actual es por recuperarla desde cero.
- Democracy is already gone from america. Now comes the physical battle to regain it.
- Yep. Our democracy is dead. We _might_ be able to form a new one, but our democratic republic is toast.
- American democracy is over. If theres another american democacy in the future its going to need to start from scratch.
- We no longer live in any kind of a democracy. People should no longer say democracy is dying. People need to now say democracy is dead in the us. That is what is true.
- We have officially lost our democracy, our republic, and are in a fascistic, autocratic oligarchy. Cant whitewash it anymore.
- Democracy is dead and not coming back. The elites stole the peoples power across the west, but we can always rebel.
- We are no longer a functioning democracy. There is no longer any functioning branch of government that adheres to the laws of this nation.
- Democracy has been dead for years now unfortunately. The only way to revive it is by literally fighting for it.
- We are not a legitimate democracy anymore either. But we once were.
2. Erosión Diaria y Descenso Acelerado.
Muchos observadores señalan que la pérdida de la democracia no es un evento repentino, sino un proceso continuo y acelerado, advirtiendo que el país se dirige rápidamente hacia un régimen autoritario.
- We are not living in a functional democracy any longer. We are losing it every single day.
- Democracy doesnt disappear overnight, it erodes piece by piece when people look the other way.
- We are watching democracy, the rule of law, and common decency disappear in front of our eyes.
- This is what democracy looks like right now. Slowly crumbling away by the orange devil and it regime. Being replaced with authoritarian and chaos.
- Terrifying. We dont have a democracy. We live under an authoritarian regime. Its still establishing itself. We may be able to stop it from entrenching itself, but time is very, very short.
- The pillars of our democracy are cracking. From the unchecked expansion of executive power to the erosion of free speech, civic freedoms, and fair elections the warning signs are all around us.
- American democracy is being murdered in broad daylight.
- The slow but steady decline toward dictatorship is taking hold. People, this is just the beginning of their political journey to dismantle democracy!
- We are slipping into autocracy faster than other countries that followed the same playbook, yet many people remain clueless about whats happening.
3. El Fracaso de las Instituciones y la Responsabilidad Ciudadana.
Existe un consenso sobre el fracaso de las instituciones (Congreso, Corte Suprema, Estado de Derecho) para actuar como contrapesos, lo que subraya la necesidad de que los ciudadanos se involucren activamente para restaurar o crear una nueva democracia.
- We are not a functional nation with a rule of law any longer.
- Reality check we are no longer living in a democracy. Any politician who says otherwise is lying. The rule of law is done. Congress is defunct. Scotus is fully corrupt.
- Our checks and balances are failing us. Our democracy is badly eroded.
- The clearest sign that a democracy has died is that a leader and his party make it impossible for their opponents to win an election and hold power.
- Democracy is not a spectator sport, and requires occasional sacrifice to maintain balance.
- The only way to actually salvage democracy is getting people to buy into it as a practice.
- Institutions dont protect democracy people do. When citizens wake up to their own power, government stops feeling like something that happens to us and becomes something shaped by us.
- We the people must universally agree that if anything is non-negotiable, it is our belief in democracy.
- We are not living in a functional democracy any longer. Its not too late to save it, but it is just important to acknowledge that we arent on the precipice of losing our democracy. We are losing it every single day.
