Professor #BarbaraFWalter, a renowned expert on #CivilWars around the world, warns that the #UnitedStates meets key criteria for nations heading toward major #PoliticalViolence. We ignore the warning signs at our own peril, according to the #author of #HowCivilWarsStartAndHowToStopThem. #AmericanHistory shows that the fight to save #Democracy will have to come from the bottom up, Walter says. “Protest and peaceful resistance works,” she adds. “Don't voluntarily comply with orders that are illegal. Don't help #DonaldTrump implement his agenda–don’t preemptively comply.”
#Anocracy - Anocracy, or semi-democracy, is a form of government that is loosely defined as part democracy and part #Dictatorship, or as a "regime that mixes democratic with autocratic features". Another definition classifies anocracy as "a regime that permits some means of participation through opposition group behaviour, but that has incomplete development of mechanisms to redress grievances."
