“Democracy isn't dying! You're alarmists! Everything is normal!”

What You Say

Normal democracies don't halt Voting Rights Act enforcement, reclassify civil servants for political purge, condition disaster aid on loyalty, or threaten prosecutors who investigate the executive. Freedom House, V-Dem, and CPR's trackers document measurable declines in U.S. civil liberties and rule-of-law scores since 2016. Alarm isn't hysteria when the Heritage Foundation published a 900-page blueprint and the administration is implementing it line by line — with primary sources linked on every entry.
