The United States at a Crossroads: Democracy at Stake, Resilience on the Line

America in 2025 stands at a critical turning point. Beneath daily routines—work, family, community—serious risks are growing. Democratic norms are weakening, the economy is strained, and polarization is deepening. These cracks demand attention before they harden into permanent damage. Experts warn that while U.S. elections remain intact, the broader system—courts, civil liberties, nonpartisan oversight—is eroding. Minority rule is being weaponized, and proposals like Project 2025 raise fears of unchecked executive power and weakened institutions.
