Reviving Democracy: Is it Possible to Overcome Trump’s Agenda?

Daniel Ziblatt has closely observed Donald Trump's unprecedented threat to American democracy for nearly a decade. Following Trump's embrace of violence and refusal to accept electoral outcomes in 2016, Ziblatt and collaborator Steven Levitsky asserted in the New York Times, “the warning signs are real.” Their 2018 book, *How Democracies Die*, illustrated how nations have devolved into authoritarianism, echoing concerns now more relevant than ever. In a recent discussion, Ziblatt noted the alarming ease with which Trump’s supporters have infiltrated key power structures, reflecting a concerning trajectory for democracy.
