Leonard Pitts writes that Republicans are quietly building a government that does not answer to its people.
The "Stop the Steal" rally outside the White House in Washington, hours before a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol, Jan. 6, 2021.What if the coup already came and nobody noticed?
However, an argument can be made that another kind of coup — call it a stealth coup — has actually been under way for years. What is a stealth coup? That would be a coup that sneaks up on you, that isn’t obvious at first, because it slowly destroys not form but function. This one has overthrown not the government but, rather, one of its core tenets: the idea that government is answerable to the will of the governed.
The ballot? A 2020 poll by Northeastern, Northwestern, Rutgers and Harvard universities finds that most Americans believe the last election was secure.Yet most Americans are repeatedly overruled. But when the will of the majority repeatedly has so little impact on the actions of their government, it’s fair to wonder if it really is their government, if their country can still be called a democracy. Certainly it cannot be called a healthy one.
