Full quote of a short, horrifying Kottke post:
On a scale of +10 (full democracy) to -10 (full autocracy), the US now scores a 0, its lowest score since the Civil War. “The USA is no longer considered a democracy and lies at the cusp of autocracy.”
For comparison: No data for Germany, but France has been a 10 since 1986. And the U.S. scored an 8 in Biden’s term and a 5 in Trump’s first term.
Richtig beängstigend.
