Nah, 40% of Americans can't find America(a continent-sized country) on the world map. Carl Schmitt might as well be a Swedish hockey player as far as they're concerned.

this is how it has been for years, they always though democracy was dead during Trump. I'm sure them realizing they got bait and switched with biden hasn't helped.

Facetwits and headline news don't give you any depth. News headline read on radio, Trump kicking people off welfare and state to sue. The rest of the story is that able bodied childless people are being kicked off welfare.

Yeah, hard to be optimistic when journalists and even conservatives call us a "democracy" when we are a Representative Republic.

Democracies ALWAYS fail.
