I’ve written before about my own ideas: to make the threats to democracy a central part of media coverage, not a sidelight; to stop treating campaigns like so many horse races; to have coverage reflect a sharp focus on government rather than politics; to label this coverage in a defining and memorable way.
The midterm elections may be the most consequential ones in American history. They are less than six months away, and many Americans don’t understand how high the stakes really are. There’s not much time to fix that.

This is not the first-time democracy has been under attack, in particular as result of the lawless hacked 2016 election in the devil's favor but in 2020 the unobstructed majority rose to the occasion to crush that lawlessly hacked in tRump atrocity an curse on the entirety of humanity on Earth, and democracy is fully capable of doing it again regardless of repuke, foreign enemy and tRump sewer mob to further deal with until the threat if finally banished to hell where it belongs. Based on history democracy has come under attack worse than that rag tag lawlessly hacked in tRump atrocity at repukes facilitating the hacking at doing the biding of foreign enemies that came with a curse of epic proportions. There is no winning to attempt to destroy civilization in favor of barbaric element of the sewer:
The importance of democracy
Why is democracy important to the world and how does it help maintain a just and free society?
The importance of democracy in the world
Democracy has played a vital role in the story of civilization, helping transform the world from power structures of monarchy, empire, and conquest into popular rule, self-determination, and peaceful co-existence.
A direct form of democracy was initially practiced in ancient Greece, but there were many slaves in that society, and hardly anyone was a citizen and able to participate. Democracy then vanished until its re-emergence as ‘representative democracy’ in the late 18th century. Since then it has been generally understood that modern human history follows a trend towards greater democracy, with some scholars describing the phenomenon taking place in three waves.
The first wave, between the late 18th century and 1918, saw the American, French, and Haitian revolutions, the gradual emergence of democracy in Britain, Bolivarian revolutions establishing democracies in South America, and the break-up of German, Ottoman, and Austro-Hungarian empires after World War 1 into democratic republics.
The second wave, between 1945 and 1960, saw the reorganization of the defeated axis powers Germany, Italy, and Japan into strong democracies, and decolonization unfolding across the world, creating independent and largely democratic nations.
"
The third wave from 1975 to 1991, saw the end of dictatorships in Portugal, Spain, and Brazil, democratic transitions in Taiwan and South Korea, and the eventual collapse of the USSR, creating free, democratic, Eastern European states.
But since 1991, by contrast, there has been what Larry Diamond calls a ‘democratic recession’, as ex-Warsaw Pact nations, such as Russia, Hungary and others have slid back into authoritarianism."

Aside from that, there are no winners of humanity at running with the barbaric concept of authoritarianism that is akin to the end of civilization on Earth. Also, as a result of conspiring to engage in insurrection and conspiracies against Democracy, humanity and U.S. Constitutional law, a majority of repukes cluttered up in Congress, in particular, deserve a no less than 20-year term in prison at waging war on society while living and whoring it up and aligning themselves with foreign enemies on the taxpayer dime.
