The US has never been a democracy, it was never even a particularly good representative republic. We started with political power explicitly and exclusively in the hands of white christian landowners and open chattel slavery. We’ve gradually loosened the criteria for voting while simultaneously reducing the impact it has via gerrymandering and other forms of disenfranchisement and corruption, same way we “abolished slavery” but left explicit allowance in the constitution for it as a punishment, now we just happen to have the largest prison population of any nation on this planet. Democracy in the US is a lie and always was, we’re just seeing the last of the facade stripped away.
