Actually, our systems need to be tested. We've been enjoying peace, freedom and prosperity for quite sometime, without having to choose between our democratic republican form of government and the many other forms of government. Now we have that chance. We will see if we still have enough public support for our U.S. Constitution or whether most people are persuaded to give dictatorship a whirl. It seems that Republicans are going to want to trash the Constitution and go full authoritarian/totalitarian/kleptocracy or other. Now is the time to get this off our collective chests.
Trump has turned this Presidential election into a referendum on the form of government we will have from here on. I hope we choose the Constitution but Republicans don't seem to want to listen to that sort of argument.
A collection of articles defining our times. The pages contain clickable links, don't let the titles fool you, some of the best articles have very non-descript titles and there are usually more articles on the matters in the days and week pages the links land on so it's a sort of treasure hunt through history, Enjoy!
