This Poland doesn't bow to the EU like dogs.   They see the EU for what it is.... another German power grab.

Those are all good things from the perspective of the authoritarian right. Immigrants bring disease and race-mixing; courts check executive power.

So what are your thoughts on democracy as a political form?

Do you think a system of checks and balances like that in US democracy is a good thing because it checks authoritarian leaders or a bad thing because it prevents them from consolidating power, as we see happening in Poland and Turkey?

The Law and Justice party has brought the press under state control, more directly than even Putin has. Would something like that be a good measure for the US as well?
