    I suggest you reread my original comment because I said NOTHING of sort. I said both what it meant then and what it means now.

    How exactly is saying “both what it meant then and what it means now” not you being very certain that you are exactly right about its meaning?

    Also, people who live in glass houses…:

    Whether or not you think the country is immoral

    What I’m on about is people thinking the US is an underdeveloped country.

    Your argument that there is no democracy going on is an absolute farce.

    My argument is that it’s unstable not non-existant.

    These are all separate issues that have nothing to do with the electoral process.

    They all have to do with the stability of a democracy. People being able to put a mark on a piece of paper is not sufficient to be a democracy. Unless you think Russia is a stable Democracy and Putin just naturally keeps winning with 95% of the vote?

    I’ve seen one, recently. And haven’t looked at it too closely.

    Well at least you’re admitting that you aren’t very aware of the situation and not paying too much attention to things. Given that by your own admission you aren’t paying attention, maybe you shouldn’t be speaking so authoritatively about it.

    Why don’t you answer one of your own questions for once and tell us about all the times the government has defied court orders?

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-federal-court-ruling-ignore-b2792939.html

    In an analysis of 165 court orders filed against the Trump administration, the Washington Post found that it was accused of resisting court orders in at least 57 of those cases – approximately 34 percent.

    The situation has been made more concerning by the fact that the Supreme Court has continued to allow the administration to seemingly circumvent court orders without ramifications.

    Here’s one I came across after I posted my previous comment:
    https://apnews.com/article/babson-student-deported-thanksgiving-467393d8d9b9ae6351f99de7b9cbfb98

    A college freshman trying to fly from Boston to Texas to surprise her family for Thanksgiving was instead deported to Honduras in violation of a court order

    Probable cause exists to hold administration in contempt for deliberately disregarding court orders to turn planes around, judge rules

    After spending several weeks battling court orders from federal judges and the Supreme Court to “facilitate” his return, the administration abruptly returned Abrego Garcia in June

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/boasberg-hearing-trump-deportation-flights-b2719635.html

    Trump and his allies have threatened to impeach Judge James Boasberg after he temporarily blocked the administration from deporting immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act and questioned whether the government intentionally defied his court orders to turn planes around before they emptied out dozens of people into a prison in El Salvador last week.

    No matter how much anti-American bigotry you maintain

    Pointing out problems is not bigotry.
