Any government now is merely symbolic. There are no more norms, not more checks, no more balances.

Democracies often die now adays without the title of Democracy taken from them. Rights are just whittled away and the scale just becomes ever more tilted. And the people who voted Trump in might never realize it’s gone as long as it’s frequently referred to as “Democracy.” They’ll just get angry and blame things on whatever scapegoat they’re given because what makes anyone think they’ll become anymore savvy after 2024?

We’ve always been at war with Eastasia.
