American democracy is in a very precarious state, according to The Hill newspaper.
"The political system that we have long considered natural is now in danger," says the newspaper.
247 - The US newspaper The Hill published an article on its website on Tuesday (4) indicating that, a year after the riots at the Capitol, US democracy is very fragile and precarious.
According to the article, when Joe Biden took office on January 20, 2021, many Americans believed that the country's politics would return to normal. However, reality was quite different. Donald Trump consistently and unfoundedly claimed that he had won the election. This lie is now the basis for the Republicans' actions, the article analyzes.
A recent poll showed that 18% of Americans and 30% of Republicans agree that, to safeguard the country, true patriots must use violence.
“The political system that we have long considered natural is now in danger,” the article says. In 2020, the fairness of the US presidential elections was seriously questioned for the first time since 1876.
