@admitsWrongIfProven i don’t think he’s claiming German democracy was “never restored” even until today. he’s pointing out democracy ended until the military defeat of the Nazis. Gerrymandering is a longstanding practice + problem in the US, but not to the level where control of government at every level has not been competitive, despite a divided or even opposed public. now that’s increasingly the case at state & local levels, and the fear is that it could soon be at the Federal level.
