A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows that most Democrats (55%) and Republicans (53%) now believe it is “likely” that America will “cease to be a democracy in the future” — a stunning expression of bipartisan despair about the direction of the country.
Half of all Americans (49%) express the same sentiment when independents and those who do not declare any political affiliation are factored in, while just a quarter (25%) consider the end of U.S. democracy unlikely and another quarter (25%) say they’re unsure.
This is because there's two separate concerns -- one from each side.
Democrats are screaming "MUH DEMOCRACY" and "MUH JANUARY 6" over that incident,
and feel that further Republican rule will seek to remove voting rights and overturn elections.
Republicans feel that the government in engaging in an incredible overreach of power, and now has the cooperation of spineless corporations and mainstream media.
Both sides basically fear the other turning the country into a dictatorship. Not good.
