A monarchy in actual power is different from one in name only

Sure, and Hitler was democratically elected. Has the introduction of democratic elements made China a country more free than the time of dynasties?

Hitler wasn’t democratically elected. He was chancellor and used the legal system to take power as a dictator.

OK, fair enough. The US government is responsible for ~11 million dead civilians in the middle east, and we have continuously voted for it.

autocratization is an issue with slowly dismantling democracy in a country. The US government is corrupt for sure. Vote suppressions, removal of creditable journalism. Lack of transparency to citizens by the 2 dominant parties. US citizens are slowly loosing their democracy. A system of demoralizing the population has gone on to leave the average citizen detached from the hardships they as a “superpower” negatively applying to the world 🌎
