The US might have narrowly escaped the takeover of the Congress by those who want to turn it into a hybrid regime of theocracy and plutocracy, but the threat is still alive. The US badly needs more safeguards to protect its democracy. A difficult task when the Supreme Court has already been captured by religious zealots. Since the GOP is likely to control the House, time is running out.

@JapanProf I think the empowered propaganda networks and declining of journalism are the root cause of the rise of fascism.
That needs to be addressed.
Perhaps the Fairness Doctrine could be restored?
Maybe more public funding for independent news orgs?
Also, how can foreign interference be blocked more effectively?
