Donald Trump has won America's presidential election. Many have long worried that a Trump victory would place American democracy in jeopardy.
Washington Post Columnist Ishaan Tharoor, for example, detailed myriad ways he thinks a victorious Trump would subvert American democracy: “As my colleagues have reported over the past year, Trump has made clear his stark, authoritarian vision for a potential second term. He would embark on a wholesale purge of the federal bureaucracy, weaponize the Justice Department to explicitly go after his political opponents (something he claims is being done to him), stack government agencies across the board with political appointees prescreened as ideological Trump loyalists, and dole out pardons to myriad officials and apparatchiks as incentives to do his bidding or stay loyal.”
