Greg Twemlow's article paints a grim picture of America's future under Trump, arguing that the nation is rapidly descending into dictatorship. He contends that Trump is exploiting constitutional loopholes and structures to consolidate power. The author suggests that the traditional checks and balances of democracy are failing, with the courts and Justice Department becoming tools for Trump's agenda. Elections may continue, but they will become formalities similar to those in countries like Hungary and Turkey. Twemlow warns that America is not using Democracy to solve its problems but is dismantling it, leading to a future where citizens' rights are severely curtailed. Ultimately, the piece expresses a sense of farewell to the American dream. Read the article on Medium.
