Description

Key Ways Democracy Can Be “Under Attack”:

1. Erosion of Trust – When citizens lose faith in elections, media, or government transparency.
2. Disinformation & Propaganda – False or manipulated information spreads faster than truth, shaping public opinion for political gain.
3. Authoritarian Tendencies – Leaders bypass laws, intimidate opponents, or weaken independent courts.
4. Suppression of Rights – Restricting freedom of the press, voting access, or public protest.
5. Polarization & Division – When people stop seeing each other as fellow citizens and start viewing each other as enemies.
