More than half of all Americans think it's 'likely' that America will 'cease to be a democracy,' a new poll found. The Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows that 55% of Democrats and 53% of Republicans share that belief in a stunning sign of pessimism about the country's future. Additionally the poll found that a majority of Republicans—52%—say it's likely that 'there will be a civil war in the United States in [their] lifetime' while half of independents—50%—and a plurality of Democrats—46%—agree.(Snip)Members of both parties picked negative phrases to describe the person across the political aisle.

We are a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC not a democracy.
There is a difference.

I keep hoping that there will NOT be a civil war. But the extremists and the billionaires who fund them seem to be insisting on it.

That saddest part is that the lie-berals have been fighting a civil war for the past 50 years, destroying so many of the things that made this nation great in the process.
Maybe it's actually time the conservatives woke up and started fighting back before there isn't anything left to fight for!!!!
Of course, as many others have rightfully pointed out, it will be a civil war to preserve the republic, not some imaginary "democracy"!!!

When you see the liberal/progressive Democrats on TV declare "our democracy" will end if the GOP takes over the House and Senate in 2022.
And, when the conservatives declare "our democracy" will end if the Swamp isn't drained.
You start to see how they can get that 50% number.
Yet, the progressives are really upset that their 20-23% of the population won't be able to get what they want through the Courts after Republicans install common sense laws that meet the Constitutional requirements.
After all, we are a nation of laws, except when a certain group of Progressives decide they don't need to pay attention to the laws, and believe they won't be held accountable for any of the laws they break.

I see revolution arising to re-establish recognition of God-given rights. Unless of course God calls his angels to start blowing their end-of-days trumpets first.

So long as there is Affirmative Action, Diversity, Entitlement Addicts, Open Borders, SEIU, and Teacher's Union, America is indeed headed for the TOILET.

We have already lost the democracy. Elections are controlled by billionaires and Democrat ran cities. We don't have any real say. The Congress has surrendered legislative power to the Executive and the Courts. The Democrat Party will eventually have a one party country. There is no effective opposition. Enough Republicans will stab us in the back.

Look at the problems facing this country. We are in deep trouble.
If any of those problems take decades to resolve, spanning multiple Presidents from multiple parties, how likely will they stick to a course of action? Just look at our last three Presidents. Each has worked to undo what their predecessor has done. Does that sound like a way to solve anything? Keep going like this and our government eventually fails. Our FORM of government (Democracy, representative Republic, constitutional Republic, whatever you want to call it) fails.

The principal difference is that the Democrats who see this actually WANT it to happen. Tyrannical Progressivism is their dream of "the new normal"..

We stopped being a functioning constitutional republic after the 17th amendment was passed. Since that day, Congress and the courts have systemically stripping the states of their own power, with most states going along in order to get federal grant monies. The Senate no longer represents States interests and Congress no longer represent their constituents. Congress now represents the interests of the parties. The last branch of government tasked with upholding the constitution doesn't. We have a two tiered judicial system. The "government" is run by unelected bureaucrats, with little true oversize.
So....... Put me down with the majority on this.

The Republic of Texas approaches.
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, S Dakota, N Dakota, Montana, Alberta (Canada), Saskatchewan (Canada), Manitoba (Canada), and a few states along the sides. Let's go EAST. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida.
We have every shipping port in The Gulf of Mexico and half the Atlantic and more oil than the Saudis ever dreamed of.
California and New York can print their own money. If they want to trade they can use Panama. We WILL protect our borders ,north, south, east, and west.
If you're coming to visit Texas bring your US passport with the pre-approved visitor's visa.

Of course #1 is dead on correct. Remember that when the left talks about “democracy” they are using a code word which actually means “democrat party power”. If you keep that in mind, then everything that they’re saying is revealed.

The electoral system is irrevocably broken.
Two sets of laws, one for them, one for us.
The guilty go unpunished.
What's left?

It seems to me that this is largely the result of the Media feeding Poison to Americans for the last 50 or so years.
Look at the shows on TV.
Look at the so-called 'News'.
Crap, crap, and more crap.

As they did in 2020, Global Marxicrats and the Fake Media will no longer permit free-and-fair elections. Instead, expect further waves of G**K Flu, more 1/6-style committees manned by America-loathing traitors like Liz Cheney, apathetic voters who still hate Donald Trump and seem to be hunky-dory with Obiden-Soros' insane gibberish, leading to their invocation of Martial Law to retain power.

A few brave White men risked their fortunes and their lives to hand us a hard-won "republic, if you can keep it," per some dead White cracker who current teachings says was a racist, and is thus discredited. And we squandered it because our revered Important People happily wallow in obscene wealth gained by bleeding the republic dry, and because so many voters are too lazy and too stupid to see past their Marxist media programming.
