It's about time that they recognized the problems facing this country. Now that trump is president we can work to rebuild the rubble that has been left before him

so while the Rep/Dem cabal controlled this country with an iron grip and basically handed the White House back and forth every 8 years- until Obama only a Bush or Clinton in the office since 1988- they never downgraded it?

Damn. I guess the criminal that didn't win the election should have become the president - that would have proven that USA is still a functional democracy.
Joshua Thomas
A long time ago, I swore an oath as a Marine to uphold and defend this country from all enemies foreign and domestic, and all of us servicemen and women wrote a check for an amount up to and including our lives.

FYI, if you actually read the article, it says Trump has nothing to do with the drop. It actually says that he got elected precisely because there is/was such a distrust in the government by the American people.

Ian Thompson
Their model of "democracy" is working against us, so what their index really measures is who the last people are to voluntarily stay in the house while the roof comes crashing down. It should be rebranded the "Biggest Rube Index", and if you put that name atop the list it looks about right.
Wyatt Williams

What the fuck did you just fucking say about my country, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

And you were never a smart person. You were always an idiot.
Democracy can and does refer to any system of government that relies heavily on citizens voting. You don't like it then come up with a better term.
