When you refuse to listen to reason, yes you deserve it.

Okay, then, is Nazi Germany a democracy? It has votes, after all. How about fascist Italy? Is that a democracy?

A democracy requires free elections, so no to both.
I don’t think the US is that far gone, though. Some states do care about the democratic process, as the graphic indicates. I don’t think the US has left flawed democracy territory yet, at least not everywhere.
The US’ democracy index is falling, but it’s still comparably high, between France and Italy.

No, that’s not what I said at all you fucking moron. The US is not and has never been a democracy, go read a book.
