Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi?

You'd think a hegemony with a 100-years tradition of upkeeping democracy against major non-democratic players, would have some mechanism that would prevent itself from throwing down it's key ideology.
Is it really that the president is all that decides about the future of democracy itself? Is 53 out of 100 senate seats really enough to make country fall into authoritarian regime? Is the army really not constitutionally obliged to step in and save the day?
I'd never think that, of all places, American democracy would be the most volatile.
You're viewing a single thread.
The country just elected this guy knowing that this is what he would do. That's democracy.
And knowing that he's a convicted felon. And twice impeached. And almost certainly a rapist. And a successful conman.
Efficient propaganda is not democracy
But gullible people voting or not certainly is.
I'll bite: What is democracy to you?
Hmm.. it kind of is really. How do you separate democracy from the narratives that campaigning representatives espouse? It's a part of every democracy.
Democracy is when the people can remove anyone in office from office. American democracy is saying bribes are lobbying.
No democracy is perfect.
America's is less perfect than many.
That said, Trump won the popular vote.
If people want tyranny people must get tryranny. Issue is if people no longer want tyranny they must be able to get rid of it as well. Or maybe don allow tyranny in the first place since people have proven over and over again to be too stupid to be allowed full control.
