To What Degree Do Americans Have Free Choice?

We’ve all heard people make the claim that both of the American political parties are essentially the same and, as George Carlin put it, exist only to provide us with the illusion of choice.  Perhaps there was some truth to that in the 1950s, when even the Republicans, led by Dwight D. Eisenhower, had some progressive ideas.

Today, however, this claim is ludicrous.  How similar is life in Denmark compared to life here in the United States as the federal government is being dismantled and Project 2025  is becoming the law?

And, of course, there are regimes all around the globe far less free than any orange-colored would-be American tyrant ever dreamed of.
