The U.S. is not now and never has been a democracy. Oligarchy was baked into their constitution from the beginning. Only rich white males had the vote, women were not much more than property, POC WERE actual property, and the indigenous peoples were vermin to be genocided and their land stolen. Some window dressing has changed over the years but no actual power has shifted away from rich white males. Now they are not even bothering to hide it anymore.
