United States democracy just hit a 50-year low

Original version ·

Turns out the experiment is officially struggling to keep the lights on.

A fresh report just dropped, and it’s basically telling the United States that its democratic report card is the worst it’s been in half a century. We aren't talking about a slight dip here; we are talking about a full-blown historic slump.

It seems like the guardrails are feeling a bit loose. The machinery that keeps the system running is reportedly grinding its gears harder than ever before. It’s less of a crisis of one specific policy and more of a collective feeling that the wheels are just coming off the bus entirely.

History will have a field day explaining how this happened while everyone was busy doomscrolling.
