    I didn’t say America was a real democracy. Everybody knows it’s a plutocratic, gerontocratic, racist former slavers’ republic that pretends to be a democracy - and everybody else around the world has been following suit for decades out of convenience.

    What I said was that it will officially cease to be a democracy the minute Cheeto and his henchmen flat out refuse to obey the judges. Because lawlessness is the most basic, most easily recognizable, and most consensually recognized sign of a dictatorship.
