"Eight years, two impeachments, four indictments, 34 felony convictions, and
one attempted coup later, the GOP is now fully 100% Trump’s party, and that
speaks less to Trump’s strength, and much more to Republican fear and
cowardice"https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-republican-takeover_n_66998a0ae4b047588a4b2aac-J.

Group <[email protected]> Subject: [FRIAM] How democracies die I am reading
"How democracies die" from Daniel Ziblatt and Steven Levitsky who warn that
modern democracies die slowly and from the inside. They particularly warn about
Trump and argue that political parties in the US play an essential role in the
defense of democracy, because they have a gatekeeper function. By nominating
Trump again as a presidential candidate the Republican party has failed to
fulfill this function as if the Jan 6 Capitol attack never happened.
