...Perhaps it’s because of the weakening of the three principal pillars that hold a democracy together: the rule of law, educated voters, and a free, ethical, and competitive press. To spot the danger from all of this, democracy demands an educational system in which citizens can learn how democracy works, but also in which they can learn to distinguish truth from lies. Our media sources are also less ethical. If you want to keep our democracy, strengthen these three pillars. By weakening them, we are accelerating our crisis of confidence in our institutions, in particular, and in democracy in general.
