No. It’s not the legislature. It’s not the judiciary. It’s not the press. It’s you and me. We are the ones who determine the fate of democracy. How we vote. How we educate ourselves. Our values. Our actions.
If we look at countries across the world, we recognize that a vital democracy is much more fragile than we realized. Democracy can’t be sustained in a society that is flabby, complacent and uninformed. The cracks in American democracy are becoming apparent, and authoritarianism is on the rise globally.
We must all be actively vigilant to ensure that American democracy endures. It’s our job. Freedom doesn’t come cheap or easy, and this is how we earn it.
