Democracy. It's messy, it's uncomfortable - but it's better than the alternatives, as Winston Churchill famously assured us. And it is certainly better than Authoritarianism.

The idea of a self-governing society, where all are considered equal, is humankind's dream. It's a vision for America based on the conviction that the best government is one in which no one - no one! - gets left behind.

And now, that dream and vision are once again threatened, as the opening decades of the 21st century have experienced an uncomfortable rise in Authoritarianism - not just in the United States, but in Europe and South America as well. It doesn't look promising.

The greatest challenge we're facing is that horrifying rise in Authoritarianism, as America has actually re-elected one. Such a thing is rare, thankfully, but not so rare that we don't know what to watch for. Even though we haven't experienced all that much of it at home, it has been part of the human story for millennia. We know what to look for.

This second volume in the Stand Against the Storm series summarizes the state of the Western world in this era of rising authoritarianism: Why is it happening? How did it get this bad? Where are we headed, if things don't change? And what can we do about it?
