Democratic member of the US House of Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused the Republicans of serious pressure on the political system of the state, writes The Guardian. According to her, the actions of the Republicans create the risk that American democracy will simply cease to exist within 10 years.

“We run the risk of getting a government that may be positioning itself as a democracy, but is not. We already saw the prerequisites for this when we saw the attack on the right to vote in the US (by the Republicans) We have white nationalist, reactionary politics starting to grow to a critical mass ... the ongoing sophisticated takeover of our democratic systems to turn them into undemocratic systems, and all this in order to cancel the results that may not please the ruling party,” said Ocasio-Cortez.

From the point of view of the representative of the left wing of the Democratic Party, the policy of the Republicans can return the United States to the laws of Jim Crow - racial segregation, in which minorities were disenfranchised in a number of American states.

“This is already happening in Texas, where Jim Crow-style disenfranchisement laws have already been proposed,” Ocasio-Cortez added, emphasizing that the White House is not doing enough in this situation, especially amid certain problems with the passage of a new law on protecting the voting rights of Americans in Congress.

Earlier, former US President Jimmy Carter warned that America is "on the brink of an abyss."
