About two-thirds of Canadians surveyed this month said American democracy cannot survive another four years of Donald Trump in the White House, and about half said the United States is on the way to becoming an authoritarian state, a poll released on Monday said.

I'm surprised two-thirds of Canadians still view American democracy as being "alive" enough to be at risk of not "surviving" something.

Technically, a comatose person in the hospital on life support is still alive . . . and to be honest, I don't think that's a bad analogy in this case. It dies if the Republicans pull the plug by ceasing to go through the motions.
