    I loved it when my english teacher gave us a paper to read and it was about how the us couldnt turn into a dictatorship because of “checks and balances”. It compared the us to hungary which is funny because in hungary orbán had to be elected before he could change the constitution while trump changed it before he was even elected 💀(i know technically its a reinterpretation but basically the same).

      I remember someone pointing out that the American constitution was the basis for a lot of other countries that were founded in the 1800s following the Enlightenment.

      They all fell into a dictatorship.
