It’s not alarmist: A second Trump term really is an extinction-level threat to democracy

Why a second Trump term is a mortal threat to democracy — though perhaps not in the way you think.

This article was posted shortly before the election but everything in there is still true and seeing his appointees perhaps worse than predicted.

    Allowing this for now as the discussion following a Trump win has a different context than hypotheticals from before a Trump win.

    For example:

    Before the election Trump was still claiming he knew nothing of Project 2025.

    AFTER the election, his nominee to run the FCC is the guy who WROTE the FCC chapter of Project 2025.

      I’m very sorry, I tried to use the search function prior to posting to make sure it wasn’t already posted. I don’t know if it was because I made a mistake or if it was because I searched based on the URL instead of the title but for some reason I didn’t receive any results.

        Generally, I’d just pick the most unusual word from the headline, search for that, and sort by “New”. In this case “Extinction”.
