Thought provoking but the author conflates and confuses liberal democracy with left of center liberal political policies. Liberal democracy is the rule of law, representation of the people by vote etc. Liberal democracy still exists in the US. Trump has not burned down the Reichstag . If anything the Democratic "Resistance" has not been following the rule of law with sanctuary cities and biased holdover administrators. Enforcing legal immigration does not create an autocracy. Just because the guy elected is a bully and a boor and has some dumb economic ideas doesn't mean that the structures of democracy have fallen. The author can be contradictory. He say the EU is not democratic but he has no sympathy for Brexit.
