David’s Reviews > How Democracies Die: What History Reveals About Our Future > Status Update

Recent sections talked about the role of strong accepted norms in Democracies, how the actual rules/laws can be followed in such a way that cripples progress. Of course many examples from other countries and times seem similar to events now in the US, such as the refusal to consider Garland for the supremes. Never happened before, a rejection of well-established norms.

Ominous intro. Are they making the parallels between current US situations and previously toppled democracies a little too easily? Will wait and see.
