  "account": "The US democracy is on the brink of extinction, undermined by its own institutions. The upcoming midterms are crucial, but the country's underlying problems will persist. The author, a long-time US resident, laments the deterioration of American democracy under Donald Trump, which has led to what they describe as fascism. The author recalls Norman Mailer's 2003 warning of a \"prefascist\" situation in the US, which has since escalated. Mailer had criticized President Bush's decision to invade Iraq, and the author wonders what Mailer would say today about Trump's actions.",
  "summary": "The country is heading to a key election appointment while we are witnessing a system change: from a constitutional democracy to another form of government in which humans are subject to machines.",
