"We have a need for an enlightened, watchful articulate opposition. We have no need for semi-secret societies who are absolutist, dictatorial and would substitute for a rule of law and reason an indiscriminate assault on the institutions that must be held sacrosanct."

The Steady State’s assessment warns that the U.S. is moving toward competitive authoritarianism: elections and institutions remain, but are manipulated to entrench executive power. Without resistance from institutions and the public, democratic erosion will continue to accelerate.
