I'd believe it when I see it
Checks and balances wasn't about avoiding fascism.
It was to make sure all three branches of governments stayed in power over the body politic.
And they still are in power.
I was sure that preventing tyranny was part of the deal?
Chink in that armor was allow people without education, attention, and just plain common sense to vote
That's a slippery slope my friend. Who gets to decide who is qualified enough to vote? What happens when they decide only select few can vote?
Definitely is a sticky situation. But since democracy is already dead, it could be done via education monitoring. For instance, you get low grades often like D's or worse or don't even show up to class enough to pass, your activity is recorded and you don't get to register to vote. Maintain a C across the board and you do. Do all this monitoring through elementary and secondary. If some go through college, they get auto-registered. Doing all this during younger formative years could vastly improve the voter pools.

Sounds like you agree with Plato. It makes sense.
Kinda why the Electoral College exists.
But it was too cool to hate on it.
Because the people running the game know without it the game becomes who has the best propaganda.
Well, as you have seen, the game of propaganda was won by the ignorant, dark visioned, loudmouthed clowns
Considering the power dynamic, is calling them the ignorant ones correct?
Very. The upcoming administration is a glaring example of that fact
