The USofA is sooo fucked up, with a fossilized constitution anchored in the 18th century, a flawed and biased indirect presidential election system, a monarchy-like supreme court for life.

There was a short period of time that it was fairly democratic from 1965 when the voting rights law was enacted, until 2001 and the "Patriot Act".

Now it is turning into a fascist oligarchic theocracy ruled by a **christianist** minority.
