Authoritarianism is surging. Can liberal democracy fight back?

Retaining democracy anywhere will be a huge problem in the next few decades. It is falling apart all across the globe. Almost since its founding, the US has been a model for democracy and peaceful transfer of power, but conservative America has slowly eroded that base...and with the rise of Trump and his morons, we are no longer anywhere near the model the world needs.

If we get through this shit, it will probably be more because of luck than anything planned and executed. We have people on the same side of the "democracy question" right here in this thread tearing into each other.

We are a generation who has pissed on the Republic entrusted to us for a short time.

Anyway, I wish the US the best of luck. It will need it.

Democracy will fail if it does not suppress fascism.

The facts are cold! The Republicans are out-numbered.

It's been that way for several presidential elections now.

The Republicans know this because they cannot even win the popular vote anymore.

So, even though they do everything they can at the STATE LEVEL to suppress democratic votes, they realize they have to cheat to win elections now.

DEMOCRACY is seen as a conflict of interest. They hate democracy now. Democracy don't work for Republicans anymore!

“We are now in the midst of the most sustained global assault on liberal democratic values since the 1930s,” Gideon Rachman writes in “The Age of the Strongman,” his survey of illiberal political leaders in countries such as Brazil, China, Hungary, Russia, Turkey and, yes, the United States. It is not exactly a novel account — the death-of-democracy bookshelf is quite crowded — and it covers the greatest hits of aspiring autocrats: the cults of personality, the us-vs.-them populism, the disdain for law, the manipulation of racial and xenophobic resentments.
