Looking at the rise to authoritarianism in the US, Steven Levitsky and Lucan Way note that "democracy is in greater peril today than at any time in modern U.S. history." And:

"U.S. democracy will likely break down during the second Trump administration, in the sense that it will cease to meet standard criteria for liberal democracy: full adult suffrage, free and fair elections, and broad protection of civil liberties."
