Hello Everybody,

"Why not the best?"
~ Jimmy Carter, Leader of the Free World, 1977-1981

Yes. Why not the best democracy in the world?
Ever since the late 1960s, the USA has been sliding
from having once been a full democracy to now being
a very flawed democracy. Just look at the list -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index


Hard to imagine. 22 countries being full democracies
around the world, as of 2019. With the USA not among
them. That is how far the USA has fallen.

Gotta dip down to 25th place to find the USA's current
standing (2019) as a flawed democracy. Things really
started going downhill in 2016 when the orange one made
his appearance as a candidate for president. But let's
not place all the fault on a clown who knows nothing
about history or much about anything else.

Look at the top ten full democracies -

1. Norway
2. Iceland
3. Sweden
4. New Zealand
5. Finland
6. Ireland
7. Denmark
8. Canada
9. Australia
10. Switzerland

That certainly shows a lot. All the Scandinavian countries,
along with a few islands, and two sparsely populated large land
masses having full democracies. Along with one place where all
the lassies yodel.

And then there are the next three entries -

11. Netherlands
12. Luxembourg
13. Germany

Yes. Adolf's favorite place. Now a full democracy, well ahead
of the USA. It would be funny if it was not true.

14. United Kingdom
15. Uruguay
16. Austria

Winston Churchill would have loved it. His kind of place, where
he could get all his drinks for free, and not having to worry about
finding a place to smoke a skogie. And Hitler's birthplace being the
new tourist attraction for all ...

17. Spain
18. Mauritius
19. Costa Rica
20. France
21. Chile
22. Portugal

Yes, my friends. The USA really has fallen from great heights.
But that's okay. Trump is always right. Make America Great Again.
That was his motto four years ago. Make America Great Again. Again.
And Again. And Again. And Again. And Again. And Again. And Again.
