American democracy is under threat. The facts are sobering:
- In a recent Pew study, 51% of Americans said they are dissatisfied with how democracy is working and 46% said they are open to other forms of government, including rule by a strong leader.
- Less than one third of Millennials consider it essential to live in a democracy.
- According to a 2022 Annenberg Constitution Day Civics Survey, 25% of US adults can name only 1 of the 3 branches of government and more than 20% can't name any branch of government.
- Against all available evidence, many Americans believe the 2020 election was stolen and question the integrity of our election systems. Some even say they are prepared to resort to violence if their desired candidate does not win the next election.
