This is a war — not of weapons, but of will and meaning.
We don’t need more outrage.
We need sharper language.
Stronger metaphors. Clearer fights.
Name the decay.
Trace the injection.
Then cut it out.

This is autocratic legalism in action.
It looks lawful. It feels procedural.
It’s decay — wrapped in the language of legitimacy.
(Scheppele, Corrales, Svolik — and Gerschewski’s causal model backs it all)
#DemocraticDecay
Democracy isn’t dying of old age. It’s being poisoned — slow, steady, strategic.
And no, it’s not just “erosion.”
It’s engineered decay — and the fingerprints point back to places like Russia.
(Soviet anti-American propaganda, published in the 1930s)
#DemocraticDecay #Disinfo
Here from @LBustikova and me on power grabs that underline democratic decay:
1.Democratic decay is gradual, not sudden.
2.Small power shifts erode accountability over time.
3.Vigilance is key to stopping unnoticed decline.

Political self-preservation is a hallmark of dynastic politics. This is why dynastic politicians will instinctively put their family's interest above the common good and public welfare. #IbaNamanSa2025 #DemocraticDecay https://t.co/bjDddoYX5U

Social media (especially @facebook) is generally terrible, but occasionally it is useful, like reminding you that you wore a balloon hat in #StLouis in 2011, when the Cards won the World Series. How does this connect to my preoccupation with #democraticdecay?
A quick thread 🧵
I'm now pursuing the bigger comparative landscape of #constitutionalrepair to address/reverse the damage caused by anti-democratic govts and #democraticdecay - and I'll be presenting on this at the @iacl_aidc World Congress in #Johannesburg 5-9 December

Honoured to see my open-access article with
@bchristophjones on #politicalparties and #democraticdecay included in the @ICON__S Thematic Reading List on Democracy. It's a very helpful selection of pieces.

Since this was published in 2019 the questions it poses about how political parties are driving #democraticdecay have only intensified - think of #Republican Party, #BJP, #Fidesz, #PiS, #SwedenDemocrats, #NationalRally, extremist takeover of the #Tory party, the list goes on...
Mhairi Black shows some MPs have a real handle on the many dimensions of #democraticdecay affecting (and being actively fostered in) today’s #UK
OUTSTANDING SPEECH
Mhairi Black delivered the most honest critique about this Tory government, in the last 12 years
She covers everything.
It will leave you speechless
This will definitely go down in history.
