Maybe as a country we are finished.
The electoral college robbed us of our choice in president, the weighting of the senate by state rather than population robbed us of control of the senate and gerrymandering robbed us of control of the house so we are clearly no longer a democracy.
“Deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, when a government becomes destructive of these rights it is the duty of a people to dissolve that government”
We’ve had an impressive run, almost 2.5 centuries. But like every other civilization that waxed, waned, dissolved and became something else, maybe this is just our time.

Let me know what you think.
