Thank you, Teri.
There is no silver bullet, here or ever (I’ve come to believe).
Yours is the best - the deepest - analysis I have read. I had wondered about that Constitutional nod to some Congressional authority in the 14th.
Your essay also fits into Timothy Snyder’s “On Tyranny” (he recapped it today as) and his latest, “The Road to Unfreedom”
(which I am reading).
Given that the world’s democracies are all gripped with a rise in authoritarianism… thoughts on causes?
