You can post as hard as you want about electoral backlash, but our national political institutions are simply not engineered to reflect popular will. — PolitiTweet.org

Only 30% of Americans support overturning Roe, with 69% opposed, according to the most recent polling. Get used to it: everything we know about the trajectory of American democracy suggests that minoritarianism will become the norm. — PolitiTweet.org

The erosion of abortion rights is extremely rare in the world, and almost exclusively occurs in backsliding democracies. Here’s my reporting on the link between those two forces: https://t.co/aHgPWMv83T — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
A lot of Americans want badly to believe that we all share a common commitment to liberal democracy, that authoritarianism comes from nefarious foreign powers or people wearing a name tag that says "dictator," but I must tell you that the call is coming from inside the house. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
There’s a wide misconception that, when authoritarianism arrives, it will look like obvious authoritarianism. In reality, it will look to many like the welcome restoration of “real” democracy, imposed by a patriotic leader ridding our nation of the corrupting forces within. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
Both models represent overt pledges to overturn liberal democracy, with its independent institutions and rule of law, to impose what the Bukeles and Orbans claim will be raw majoritarian rule on behalf of true patriotic citizens. — PolitiTweet.org

Hungary’s initial turn toward authoritarianism looked, @zackbeauchamp shows, a lot like parts of America today: a patriotic leader pledging to “take back” social and cultural institutions from the radical minorities who’d corrupted them. https://t.co/nyYjfe7HZI — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
In El Salvador, Bukele’s iron-fist crackdown on crime is winning grudging public support, even as he hollows out the judiciary and independent institutions. If they try to check his power, they must oppose the people’s will or support the criminals, right? https://t.co/sN179Ncjju — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
Two stories today highlight that authoritarianism doesn’t come with a tank rolling up to the capital anymore. It comes with a leader promising to do whatever it takes to control the dangerous minorities or radicals in our midst, to protect “us” from “them.” — PolitiTweet.org

At this point, the Hungary model is probably something like the midrange outcome for American democracy, with a formal coup or full restoration of liberal democracy both plausible edge cases — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
I’ve long viewed gradual within-system erosion akin to Hungary or Turkey as America’s likeliest path to authoritarianism, but it’s certainly possible we’ll just go full Batista ‘52 — PolitiTweet.org

Marine Le Pen gained 8% compared to her last run in 2017. But I’m not sure this is proof that the far-right is more popular: she ran hard toward the center, distanced herself from her far-right positions, and faced an unpopular incumbent. — PolitiTweet.org

Right-wing populism is probably now a permanent force in Western politics, but there have been indications for a while that its popularity peaked in 2018 https://t.co/NGF0SZnfDw — PolitiTweet.org

Two major defeats for right-wing populism today, losing power in Slovenia and failing to take it in France. For all the movement’s strength in America, it’s been facing hard times almost everywhere else: https://t.co/zTA6WdnThS — PolitiTweet.org

@faizawsayed I'm so pleased to hear it! One insightful point @stephrschwartz made that I wish I'd been able to make space to include: Britain's contortions with this new policy show that the norm, while obviously weak, does still restrain states somewhat. — PolitiTweet.org

This is more than symbolic. As long as Boris is in Kyiv, NATO’s tripwire effectively extends to his location. A costly, skin-in-the-game demonstration of credibility to any future Western security guarantee for Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org
