Saving Democracy: From the Warnings of 2016 to the Urgency of 2025 - Paperback

by Bob Passi (Author)

In this updated edition of Saving Democracy, Bob Passi examines the transformation of American democracy from the hopeful promise of the postwar era to its quiet capture by economic elites. Revisiting the 2016 election as a national watershed, the book traces the rise of authoritarianism, the collapse of institutional integrity, and the reawakening of citizen consciousness. With historical insight, metaphorical reflection, and a citizen's toolkit for action, Saving Democracy offers both a sobering diagnosis and a hopeful path forward. It's a call to arms-not through violence, but through civic renewal, solidarity, and sustained democratic engagement.
