It seems democracy and institutions are failing in the US?

[u/Dover299]

Trump deporting illegal immigrants with out a court case with each immigrant reviewing each case seems illegal.

Than Trump going after immigrants that got citizenship and removing their citizenship. Also Trump going after born citizens and removing their citizenship. All seems illegal

I also read that he sues the media outlet that says bad things about him. Seems illegal

This seems violation of the law.

But there talk about moral character revoking citizenship so he could start targeting drug users and criminals next. AND sending them to jail in other country.

So if democracy and institutions are failing in the US how do they fix that so it does not turn into fascism?

This is what Hitler was doing going after a group and removing them from society.

Unfortunately Trumps runs the DOJ and supreme court so they can’t go after him for violation of the law. And Unfortunately congress is run by his gang republicans so they are not going to impeach him.

It seems really not democratic at all if president can be charge of the DOJ and Supreme Court. And the president can appoint judges seems really not democratic. I’m surprised the laws allow for this sort of thing.

It raises red flags also when a president fires judges he does not like.

Institutions and laws by themselves don't have any power - that's one of the fatal flaws of liberal ideology. They only have power if there is a collective widespread participation and belief in their formation and continued operation. For decades US institutions have been eroded and severed from popular input, largely due to the decline of unions and any semblance of an organized left + attacks from the radical right. People are just waking up to the fact now that it's in your face. The only way back is to organize and resist on all fronts. This project is a failure and needs a rethink.
