I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.
Maybe every other generation. Grandparents to grandchildren.

Exactly. It’s like the memory of what it took to protect democracy fades just long enough for the cycle to restart. The elders remember why participation mattered, the middle drifts, and the young rediscover the stakes the hard way.
