Might be a political hard sell but I wouldn't mind changing it into the Union of Democratic States. Change the constitution while at it so that authoritarian backsliders can be ejected easily

The US has a longer and more robust democratic tradition than other 21st century democratic backsliders. Institutionally and culturally, harder for would-be authoritarians to overcome.
Orban, Erdogan, Modi, Chavez/Maduro, etc. had it easier. Less to defeat than Trump. And many were more competent.

It's hard to see because the backsliders' ideologies of state and society are a mess, often self-contradictory and superficial. But, at root, they simply do not agree that the law is a mechanism to establish common rights and obligations for all citizens under representative government 2/x

The Bulgarian govt has resigned after massive anti-govt protests. The situation is more complex than "civil society brings down a backsliding government". This is the 3rd time a GERB govt resigns after protests; they're not afraid of losing elections; they're not authoritarian backsliders, but...

Voting in free, fair, and open elections is not merely your right, nor even your patriotic duty - though, it is both of these things - but, in a world of authoritarian strongmen, dictators, and democratic backsliders, voting is an act of resistance…🇬🇧

Hungary and Israel are among the democratic backsliders that have parliamentary systems. America's version of it has some distinctly American elements, but the phenomenon is widespread, with versions occurring in numerous countries, of various political systems.

Sorry but why do we owe these people another generation of absolute failure? We’re moving from our baseline police state into total edgelord control faster than any other backsliders to do ever do it and they can’t even point to anywhere on the scoreboard that they tried legitimately to stop it

Comparativists like me need to read more social theory. What sorts of political forces ARE these? The value of elections and laws is derived from some theory of the state and society. The backsliders' theories aren't liberal democratic ones -- but what they represent is the open question 4/4
