THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC AND DEMOCRACY ARE AT SERIOUS RISK!!

David Frum, Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic (New York: Harper, 2018) (From the book jacket: "Until the US presidential election of 2016, the global decline of democracy seemed a concern for other peoples in other lands. That complacent optimism has been upended by the political rise of Donald Trump." "The crisis is upon Americans, here and now.").

Steven Levitsky & Daniel Ziblatt, How Democracies Die (New York: Crown, 2018) ("Are we [that is, Americans] living through the decline and fall of one of the world's oldest and most successful democracies?" Id. at 2.).
