The status of American democracy feels paradoxical: somehow both damaged and well-functioning at the same time. On the one hand, the United States has a president who is acting like a dictator: threatening to wipe out an entire civilization, menacing allies with threats to annex their territory, targeting domestic enemies with spurious criminal investigations, and […] Read more ›
