Surprised it isn't already being classified as a dictatorship. It's already got the loud-mouthed sociopath who gets away with sexual assault, builds useless walls, demonizes specific groups of people, sleeps with an ugly gold digger, and wants to nuke everyone else.

Thanks for nothing America, you elected the bringer of the apocalypse.

How can you type something like this and not just laugh uncontrollably?

As far as the Economist, the US has never been a full democracy. A constitutional republic that has never required popular vote to select a President or to pass almost all federal law.
