A former Supreme Court Justice warned that democracies don’t usually die with tanks rolling down the street. They die when the public gets too distracted, too angry, and too civically illiterate to notice the con man holding the gasoline can.
Half the country can name every Kardashian but couldn’t explain the separation of powers if their life depended on it. Civics got replaced with podcasts, memes, and people screaming “freedom” while cheering for politicians who openly flirt with authoritarianism.
That’s the real danger of civic ignorance. Eventually voters stop caring about constitutional limits so long as their guy promises revenge, tariffs, and a bigger flag.
History is full of countries that thought, “Relax, he’s just entertaining.” Right before things went sideways.
Justice David Souter saw it coming years ago. A lot of people laughed. Doesn’t seem so funny anymore.
