"When you see important societal actors — be it university presidents, media outlets, C.E.O.s, mayors, governors — changing their behavior in order to avoid the wrath of the government,

a professor of government at Harvard and the co-author of the influential 2018 book
“How Democracies Die.” -

Donald Trump’s presidency has raised a question that many of us never thought we’d be asking: Is our democracy in danger?
Harvard professors Steven #Levitsky and Daniel #Ziblatt have spent more than twenty years studying the breakdown of democracies in Europe and Latin America, and they believe the answer is YES.
Democracy no longer ends with a bang—in a revolution or military coup—but with a whimper: the slow, steady #weakening of critical institutions, such as the #judiciary and the #press, and the gradual erosion of long-standing political #norms.
The good news is that there are several exit ramps on the road to #authoritarianism.
The bad news is that, by electing Trump, we have already passed the first one.
Drawing on decades of research and a wide range of historical and global examples, from 1930s Europe to contemporary #Hungary, #Turkey, and #Venezuela, to the American South during #Jim #Crow, Levitsky and Ziblatt show how democracies die—and how ours can be saved.
