Ringkasan :
how Democracies Die explains the historical establishment of democracy in the United States and what the United States has done to preserve it. It also gives a study into the rise and fall of democracies in other countries. There is the layman description of the fall of democracy through warfare and the undermining of democracy by the rejection of established historical norms. How Democracies Die spells out a detailed first year of Donald Trump’s administration and how he has undermined U.S. Democracy by swaying from American norms, guardrails, and ridding it of its gatekeepers. The book describes authoritarianism and how other countries have fallen to it by default or through force. Now the United States is on the line. Warring political parties have allowed an authoritarian leader to slip into the presidential seat and manipulate administration. Media is under attack. Appointed officials are fired. Social unrest is exacerbated. The list goes on and on and this book spells out each focal point. Although the United States has taken steps toward the demise of democracy, this book reveals the danger signs of a democratic decline and the steps toward recovering democracy. Democracy in the United States needs to reform. The norms that were once respected need to be reinstated within the political system and integrated into society. This will allow diversity to exist in peace, increase economic stability, and secure an American democracy for many years to come.
