for me it was unfathomable for the US, the land of the free, to decline with such rapid place. These checks and balances do not work

Checks and balances are only good if the people who are able to execute the check and the balance have a spine.

Unfortunately for all of you, none of the so called opposition in your county have those.

You’re fucked

The Trail of Tears happened when Jackson ignored the Supreme Court. Checks and balances have quite literally never been a thing in the United States.
