    Isn’t there a Playbook for how to destroy a country and its something like attack the pillars that democracy rests on.

    Its something like judicial system, free press, education

    If you look at what supports a Democratic system, every single one of them are targeted by either the right or the left. It’s kind of crazy that I saw people who predicted this 15 years ago and now its clear as day.

        What’s there to participate in if the country can’t secure Democratic elections or if the people cant trust the elections are true or if the courts can’t enforce the rules that keep the machine running or if the people lack any kind if shared knowledge that binds them so they are aware how the system runs.

        Participation is important in Democratic countries but its not what makes democracy possible. Democracy is only possible when there are key things in place for it to rest on. Subversion is kicking those legs out from under it. Propaganda targets the civilians to do the kicking.
