It can be true that the constitution is not working as intended, AND the US is a far cry from a country like Russian in terms of it operating as a constitutional republic / democracy. It is not subjective to say the US is more of a democratic country than Russia.


I think Russia was being used as an extreme example. It wasn't being lauded as a model nation, far from it.


Maybe not yet, but the current US president has lauded authoritarian Hungary as a model for the US.


Rome wasn't built in a day, you don't go straight from 2024 to throwing people out of windows overnight.

But you get there by doing exactly what's being done on a daily basis.
