End of history or American democracy death

The professors had the crystal ball to warn all Americans on how democracies die from history and how to prevent our own death. They see the signs of off track in the newly elected Trump who had no prior political experience but a “smart” slick businessman. He treat the country state of affairs as if his own corporation. This book offers a table of check list and the country status all violates this norm. The slogan “make America great” is encouraging but in terms of what? Our president antagonizes friends and foes, tore international agreements, threatened to withdraw from international organizations and treaties, shows no leadership in fighting Covid 19 with over seven million cases and two hundred thousand deaths. He takes no personal responsibility and precautions and suffered as the sick man and made America the Sick Man of the World! Ask yourself: do you trust the man for four more years with colleagues and relatives write against him, with strong self-center, behave like a tyranny, a shaman ignorant of medical reality? His second term signifies the end of history and democracy!
