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.
