How American Institutions Failed to Meet the Moment: The Constitution provides tools with which to defend against a demagogue. But political elites have refused to use them.

Good article, thank you for sharing.

It reminded me of the recent resurgence of people finally saying why is the onus of recycling on the individual consumer rather than those producing the trash to begin with. We can only change so much by voting, and only so often. There are (were?) whole departments and branches of government that were supposed to prevent a group of maniacs from taking over as their sole responsibility. Meanwhile they were all as asleep at the helm as the guard monitoring Epstein's cell.

of course the elites refused to use them. they are the ones who wants this to happen

because they are bribed not use them on both sides of the isle

Wow these kinds of people are naive babies worshiping ancient slavemaster pacts.

How American Institutions Failed to Meet the Moment

Lol! What failure?

Seems to me that they succeeded in their anti-democratic function, and succeeded spectacularly.
