Freedoms are slowly taken away, government intervenes in every aspect of life, and the actions of majority of the elected officials don't seem to reflect the opinion of majority of polls respondents. Government seems to be more active and successfull manipulating the public opinion rather than solving the problems. Are we still a democracy?

HELL NO!!!! Look up the word in a dictionary before you write a question about different political systems. The USA government is a Republic not a democracy.

We are still a democracy, but there is reason for concern. To some degree, increased government intervention is a necessary response to increased terrorist threats, but as long as we can vote, we can keep it within appropriate bounds.

Sure we're becoming an authoritarian regime.
As you're reading this, the FBI is flying their black helicopters to your house to arrest you for sedition, because you dared question the government.

Seems to be heading that way. The next election will tell the tale. Yes we can still vote but does it mean anything?
