The following video asks whether President Trump will end democracy in the United States (US)? Please click on this link for more: https://youtu.be/p1SjVCYUIwk
I would argue, instead, that the US has never been a democracy, because it is an artificial colonial settler state that committed genocide against the indigenous people of North America. And today, it is unconditionally supporting the genocide against the indigenous peoople of Palestine against international law!
Today, while 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are US citizens, 40 million Americans live in poverty, and 201 million more live from paycheck to paycheck. How could the US claim to be the champion of democracy, when the People’s Republic of China has eradicated poverty, despite having 4 times the US’ population?
Moreover, the US has consistently refused to comply with 42 United Nations’ resolutions demanding the immediate return of Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. 6 million Puerto Ricans have abandoned their national territory in the meantime, and half of the 3 million people in Puerto Rico live in poverty.
The US can’t lose what it never had.
