Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi?
You'd think a hegemony with a 100-years tradition of upkeeping democracy against major non-democratic players, would have some mechanism that would prevent itself from throwing down it's key ideology.
Is it really that the president is all that decides about the future of democracy itself? Is 53 out of 100 senate seats really enough to make country fall into authoritarian regime? Is the army really not constitutionally obliged to step in and save the day?
I'd never think that, of all places, American democracy would be the most volatile.
Yes, the President can be impeached and removed by Congress. On the opposite side of the coin a President can veto laws passed by Congress, which Congress can override but it's harder than passing a law. The problem is when Congress also goes nazi at the same time. In that case we're fucked. In fact I think Article 97 sub-paragraph E13/W even says, "Such conditions and circumstances shall by Law constitute Fuckage."
That is by design. If the "majority" of the country wants the US to be Nazis, that is the direction it will go. That is how a representative democracy works.
The flaw was the founders assuming retarded puppets would not be elected by even an uneducated public. But, they also didn't plan for automatic weapons either. Well, they sort of did, they said we should be rewriting the constitution every so many years so it can evolve with the times, but we chose to enshrine and misinterpret it like a civic bible. Oops.
I think the US is beyond fucked already. The fact that Bonespurs could get elected president not once but twice is a clear sign that America's collective intelligence has dropped below Idiocracy level. A complex society can withstand a lot of stupidity as long as there are enough people who can keep the opportunists in their place, but that's not true anymore. I'm not just talking about people who voted for him, I'm including the several million people who voted for Biden in 2020 but refused to vote for Harris in 2024. They were the safety net that decided to fold itself up and go home. We're done.
