The democracy is nominally functioning "by design" and by that I mean the law is still being followed.
I'm convinced there are spiritually two Americas here and I'm not sure the founding fathers could have forseen that. There are slow-motion economic wars happening. They are happening at a global level between China and the US and they are happening at a national level in the US between the red and blue states.
I don't think the founding fathers could have forseen the exponential growth in the haves and have nots.
