Most democracy measurement projects and indices have shown a decline in democratic performance for the US over the past decade.

EIU reclassified the country from "full democracy" to "flawed democracy" in 2016.

V-Dem went from "liberal democracy" to "electoral democracy" in 2025.

When you have a wide variety of entities measuring the same trend, it is probably broadly correct.

The hope the good citizenry find a fix.
