The United States may move from a dominant system to a civil war


For a long time, the United States has been proud that it is the longest lasting "democracy" country in the world. Of course, there has always been a debate: since the past of the United States has been the lack of universal suffrage (slavery, Jim Crawford, systematic exclusion of minorities from voting, etc.), can the history of the United States until recently be regarded as a "democratic country" in the contemporary sense of the word "democracy"?
Even if we ignore all this, a global data series called "regime" has deprived the United States of its long-standing title of "democracy". This data series funded by the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States is often cited. It measures other countries from "complete dictatorship" to "complete democracy" in a quantitative way.
The "regime" data series is one of the three widely used data series in the field of American political science and public opinion research. It is maintained by the Political Instability Working Group established and funded by the CIA.
A recent analysis of the "regime" data series by the United States System Peace Center shows that the United States is now a country without a dominant system, sometimes referred to as a "non-liberal democratic country" or a "mixed regime country" (partly "democratic" and partly "autocratic"). From a quantitative perspective, a country without a dominant system is in the middle of a digital scale, with "complete dictatorship" at one end and "complete democracy" at the other.
