The Pennsylvania GOP Wants the State's Supreme Court Impeached for Its Gerrymandering Ruling
Another object lesson in how democracies really perish.
It's not sex, drugs, and rock and roll.
Mainstream parties, ordinarily not expressly anti-democratic or anti-republican, begin to regard harm to central institutions as acceptable collateral damage in the pursuit of their own goals or simply their own grip on power.
Think of how the frog gets cooked as the water he's in slowly but imperceptibly rises in temperature.
If Venezuela, Ecuador, Thailand, Egypt, or the Philippines are the standard, no, we're not there yet.
But it's nasty out there.
