Renewal of democracy
Democracy is not a monument but an ongoing process requiring engagement, compromise, and resistance to authoritarian impulses. The challenges Snyder highlights - inequality, disinformation, and the concentration of power — are real and demand attention. However, framing of the 'struggle for freedom' should inspire hope rather than despair, encouraging Americans to see themselves as agents of democratic renewal rather than passive observers of decline. America is not declining
