There is no longer an American democracy, and the American Republic is disintegrating as those in control of what is generally referred to as "The Left" aggressively pursue the elimination of the Constitutionally-created Electoral College, a process created specifically to diffuse power and prevent a single group from gaining total and permanent control of America's federal government.
America was a vast, sprawling, diverse, and complex nation at the time of its creation.
As Aristotle warned, one of the flaws of democracy was that even though such systems began with a sense of shared community, eventually a majority would emerge that understood its voting power essentially provided full power to dictate rules.
This would allow the controlling majority to impose higher costs on the minority that often disproportionately created greater returns.
I guess we could think of this as imposing a "Wealth Tax" or even more a tax on "Unrealized Income" under the rubric of "Fair Share." America is changing by the moment into a new political form, the "Post-Democracy Electronic State." It has "Morphed" into competing fragments seeking power operating within the physical territory defined as the United States while tenuously holding on to a watered-down minimal list of the basic creeds that represent what we long considered an exceptional political experiment.
The Rule of Law is significantly weakened and the institutions of law are being used politically by those in power.
The post-democracy political order now in power paradoxically consists of a combination of fragmented special interests eager to punish anyone who challenges their desires and a central government that is consolidating its power to monitor, control, and intimidate its citizens.
