This is exactly the problem with a majoritarian democracy split along two party lines. Multi-party coalitions are more democratic. The US is no longer a LIBERAL democracy. It is an AUTHORITARIAN democracy. Trump is playing havoc with a norms-based political system. Not enough checks to power.

Five-year-old US citizen deported to Honduras is latest in long list of child victims of Trump’s crackdown.

The girl and her mother were held for almost a week in a hotel 80 miles from their home, without access to a lawyer or a hearing before a judge, before being deported.

The White House called Alex Pretti an “assassin.”

They called Renee Good a “domestic terrorist.”

And their investigations are shutting out local officials.

They tell Americans not to believe ‘their lying eyes.’

But no one can believe a word they say.
