We all better hope that How Democracies Die by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt are wrong in their assessment about the future of the US government. If they are correct, we are just a bit beyond the bounds to save our institutions, without some occurrences which, in the current political environment, seem very unlikely.
This is a uniformly depressing book, but a vital read. Partisan politics are inevitable, but a move toward the center by a large number of Americans appears to be the only path out of the mess we are in; otherwise, we may be witnessing the death knell of our republic.
