I've always wondered if the deep understanding of the underpinnings of freedom and the rule of law were really built - in a robust form - into the US system.

Because evolving a constitution and writing one are different things and create very different structures.

Perhaps in the end the constitutional architecture of the US produces more gridlock than progress. And that the result is sclerosis, and not prudence, corruption, and not patience.

Perhaps it is just the man. But I fear Trump is a symptom of something even more worrying. A system that produces frustration and hatred, and ultimately occasional civil wars where there is no peaceful path to decision-making and differences fester.

Rather accept errors and subsequent corrections than leave so many political issues unresolved.

that Trump and his appointees, and probably nearly the whole Republican Party, think it is justifiable for Trump to rig elections in his own favour, and to do so under the aegis of a claim that the president's powers are essentially absolute.

They think the opposite is true if Democrats were to do the same things.

So effectively, we are seeing one US party, the GOP, that thinks its political beliefs are more important than democracy and override the rule of law. And another, the Dems, that encourages democracy and the rule of law.

This doesn't end well. The entire upper echelons of the GOP are fundamentally corrupt.
