U.S. democracy has always been tedious at best. From lack of civil rights until modern times, gerrymandering, voter intimidation, restrictive voting laws that target minorities and the economic underclass, and hyper-lobbyism. Not to mention, how many healthy democracies have had 6 elected presidents shot (4 killed), and two that officially died of natural causes but may have actually been poisoned. Not to mention how every past president typically has several assassination plots foiled.
Things seem bad now, I won't deny that, but it has always been a weak democracy.
