Is US democracy in danger? | DW Documentary

From the creator

The US was once hailed as a beacon of modern democracy, but today, it’s under pressure. Political camps are deeply divided, and critics argue that President Donald Trump’s governing style is increasingly authoritarian. Parts of the media and universities are often targets of Trump’s attacks. The pressure has led some academics to make drastic choices. Philosopher and author Jason Stanley, a descendant of Holocaust survivors who has written extensively on fascism, chose to leave the United States entirely. #documentary #dwdocumentary #dwdocs #usa #democracy ______ We kindly ask viewers to read and stick to the DW netiquette policy on our channel: https://p.dw.com/p/MF1G
