Eroding democracy isn’t an on off switch per se. He’s been actively dismantling systems since day one. It is hard to say exactly when all is lost and there’s no coming back. That could have been last week or it could be next month. I suppose that will be up to historians.
I think frogs in a pot slowly being heated to a boil is a better analogy. We were pretty fucked as soon as we went in the pot. If there’s any sense we can maybe jump out, but eventually we’ll die if we don’t act
I think in this case it’s like global warming; the “it’s gone too far to go back now” point has long passed, but it’s still possible to prevent potential unchecked snowballing harm.
I truly don’t think democracy has very long in this country. Either the people rise up or die under oppression.
Our systems have failed

Somehow, the people aren’t quite singing yet…
