It's frankly laughable to claim that the US still has democratic checks and balances with all the shit Trump and his gang has done.

The checks and balances are there. But they don't always "check and balance" the way you want them to.

Same in the EU. In this very comment section there are people abdicating to the courts, saying they'll block this proposal. The EUs checks and balance also work slowly and not always in your favor.
