I'd say easily the answer is.... Mitch McConnell.
Putin can do whatever it is that Putin does, but it has been Mitch McConnell as the real threat to American democracy, AND... to the US Constitution. McConnell has already stated that should republicans take back the senate in 2022, McConnell will never allow Joe Biden a Supreme Court justice should a vacancy open up. Yes, old Mitch will block President Joe Biden and his Supreme court nominee. And god knows how old Mitch would spin/justify that one....??? During Obama, McConnell claimed "it was too close to an election, and the people should decide". Well, we all know that reasoning was total McConnell BS after Amy Coney Barrett came along. Rushing Trump's Supreme Court justice didn't seem to be an issue, back then. And now, we have McConnell not only threatening to deny Joe Biden his nominee should an opening occur, but actually rewriting the US constitution into Mitch McConnell's constitution.
Mitch McConnell has definitely done and is still doing much more damage to America and to democracy than any Vladimir Putin could have ever hoped to do. Me thinkist that the fox is in the henhouse, and I don't get it. I thought we had "protections" built into our system of government to stop people like Mitch McConnell from running amuck? Even with the democrats technically in charge of all three branches of government, McConnell still gets his way. And that is a danger to democracy itself, not to mention a type of political coup. Here we all feared that Donald Trump would become the American dictator, and yet now we have Mitch McConnell as the actual dictator in charge. Surely "something" can/should be done about this? You can't just rewrite the entire United States Constitution to soot one individual, AND... then get away with it? How has this been allowed to happen, and why?
