  America's democracy is rapidly collapsing. Examining its present state offers clues to prevent catastrophe

The article from Yahoo News discusses the concept of "competitive authoritarianism," a political system where democratic institutions exist but are manipulated by the ruling party to maintain power, as described by political scientists Steven Levitsky and Lucan Way. It highlights how this phenomenon is increasingly relevant in the U.S., with examples such as former President Donald Trump's actions to undermine democratic norms and institutions. The piece also references the January 6th Capitol riot as a manifestation of this trend, suggesting that the U.S. is at a critical juncture where the health of its democracy is threatened by such authoritarian practices. The article emphasizes the need for vigilance and action to protect democratic principles against the backdrop of rising competitive authoritarianism globally.
