In 2024, 64% of the eligible-voting population turned out, the second highest in 120 years. New data show that even if all those voters who stayed home had voted, Trump would still be president today.

When the Supreme Court rules that if a president does it, that means it’s legal, you have to expect authoritarians to take advantage.

Decivilization May Already Be Under Way - The Atlantic

I’m sorry if this behind a paywall; if it is, find a way to read the article. The article talks about how violence in society can lead to normalized government violence targeting the people govern. Democracy is fragile.
