American democracy is under threat. How do we protect it? | Brookings – Brookings Institution
Category: Democracy
In the past decade, liberal democracies around the world have been attacked from within, and the United States is no exception. Democratic decline is of increased importance in a presidential election year in which many expect there to be challenges to the results, similar to those we saw in 2020.
