The United States faces extraordinary problems in terms of
polarization, extremism, and radicalization which make it difficult
to safeguard our democracy. There are many afflictions about which
observers should worry: voter suppression, unfair institutions,
dysfunctional governance, a toxic information ecosystem, a rise in
societal tensions, and the possibility of legal coups. It is time
to step back from this dangerous precipice and discuss why these
developments represent such serious threats to American democracy.
As power politics and authoritarianism gain strength, there are no
guarantees facts will triumph over falsehoods and reason will
dominate over emotion. Drawing on his personal experiences in the
D.C. policy world, West offers advice for dealing with this
high-risk situation and protecting people, organizations, and the
country as a whole from the challenges that permeate the current
environment.
