Hartmann: Democracy under attack

In his blog post today he cites the Freedom House evaluation of US democracy:

"One of those countries they identified as a place where democracy itself is under assault is the USA, where virtually the entire Republican Party has rejected supporting democracy at home and supporting democratic governments abroad." 

Note also that the US is regressing on the Democracy Index. The 2021 report has yet to come out but if they factor in all the Repugnacon laws suppressing the vote and giving partisan committees the power to overrule the vote then it seems likely the US will regress even further. 

Will US democracy survive? Since the Democrats punted on federal legislation to override those State laws when they could have won, it seems it will now be up to the US Attorney General to challenge those State laws. And of course then the Supreme Corp will have to weigh in, and given their current partisan propensity it seems unlikely democracy will survive.
