The US has never been a democracy. And I don't mean that in the "constitutional republic" way. I mean it literally, there has been no time when everyone could participate in the organization of society let alone share the same status as the ruling class.

Democracy isn't ending because of Trump. It ended because a group of wealthy people in a closed room decided it was bad for business.
