“I think in Europe, we would like to see the Americans go into self-introspection and self-reflection about their own democracy rather than exporting it. America is a very vulnerable, polarized democracy at the moment,” says Dr. Cuperus. That certainly sums up my point of view. The US Senate isn’t even willing to protect basic voting rights in their country, but we’re supposed to believe that the USA is a model democracy and will be a permanent champion of democracy. The USA is on the cusp of either correcting its democratic backsliding or collapsing into a corrupt autocracy not very different from the Russian model.
Last 3-4 US fights against authoritarians brought Europe many beautiful things, and to the people of those countries even more. So, I’m really surprised by this..
