"Yascha Mounk is used to being the most pessimistic person in the room. Mr.
Mounk, a lecturer in government at Harvard, has spent the past few years
challenging one of the bedrock assumptions of Western politics: that once a
country becomes a liberal democracy, it will stay that way."

Definitely not a good sign.  Via Susan Stone.
