Well, 17 Republican US States have launched a Supreme Court lawsuit against the 4 swing States which elected Biden. They are claiming voter/election fraud yet Trump has lost all 50 lawsuits claiming this. All States have certified their results via recounts/etc. They are trying to invalidate 81 million votes because the Texas Attorney General wants a federal pardon from Trump over financial crimes he has committed. It is that self-serving and wicked.
The US has become a 24/7 Saturday Night Live skit. It's a joke. A banana republic. A nation where the 2 political sides are so polarised that compromise is impossible.
The problem is that this behaviour legitimises assaults on democracy in other countries. If the world's 800lb gorilla can act like this then we can as well. Because other nations are realising how truly powerless society is when someone comes in and attempts to break the fragile ties that bring society together to make it function. Much of how society functions is unwritten in laws; it is a loose agreement between people to cooperate. And it only takes someone as narcissistic as Trump to throw this fragile cooperation into chaos.
