Is Tyranny Around the Corner? | New York Times | May 2016
A Washington Post piece claimed that a sizable number of Americans are supposedly wary about democracy, and Andrew Sullivan has written
that Trump’s rise shows that we’re ripe for tyranny. Others have spoken
of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders as dual demagogues. But are
Americans looking for an autocrat to take charge or simply a government
that gets things done, works in their interest and truly represents
them? Is America tired of democracy, or yearning for more of it?
