Abstrakt: The article discusses the subversion of democratic norms in the United States, particularly under the leadership of Donald Trump and the Republican Party. It highlights the party's shift to the extreme right and its exploitation of cultural, economic, and demographic changes to push conservative proposals that are not supported by most voters. The article also examines the partisan biases in the US Constitution, such as the winner-takes-all rule in the Electoral College and malapportionment in the Senate, which have favored Republican candidates and policies. Additionally, it discusses gerrymandering and intentional efforts to suppress Democratic turnout. The article concludes by expressing concerns about the future of US democracy, regardless of the outcome of the 2024 elections. [Extracted from the article]
