    I’m surprised two-thirds of Canadians still view American democracy as being “alive” enough to be at risk of not “surviving” something.

      Technically, a comatose person in the hospital on life support is still alive . . . and to be honest, I don’t think that’s a bad analogy in this case. It dies if the Republicans pull the plug by ceasing to go through the motions.
