This Is How Many Days One Oxford University Historian Predicts The US Has To Save Its Democracy, And It's Bleak

Timothy Garton Ash, a professor of European studies at the University of Oxford, predicted in a new essay for the Guardian that Americans have only 400 days to save their democracy.

“Hysterical hyperbole? I would love to think so,” admitted Garton Ash. “But during seven weeks in the US this summer, I was shaken every day by the speed and executive brutality of President Trump’s assault on what had seemed settled norms of U.S. democracy and by the desperate weakness of resistance to that assault.”

All “democrats, irrespective of party or ideology, must hope the Democrats regain control of the House” in the 2026 midterms “not because of the Democrats’ policies, which are a muddle, or their current leadership, which is a mess” but because the currently GOP-controlled Congress has to “start doing its job again” and keep the White House in check, he said.

Any economic harm caused by Trump’s controversial policies may be offset, he continued, by the possibility that the president may “do a pre-election cash handout to voters, perhaps presented as compensation for the ‘temporary difficulties’ of the transition to a MAGA economy.”

Democrats have to relentlessly “bring those economic costs irresistibly home to voters,” not just “by talking about the defence of democracy, important though that is, let alone by engaging in culture wars,” he urged.

It’s interesting that the author uses ‘400 days left for democracy’ almost like click bait, but then says Democrats shouldn’t run on the threat to democracy in the midterms. He’s saying Trump will pull a Biden student loan EO equivalent, and Democrats should focus on the costs of it to people.

Another full of shit Leftist academic weighs in...

Read Ash's CV. His work, to date, can be summed up as: Leftist revolution in Europe and how great it is.

This guy is just another Leftist that is in full panic mode with uncurable TDS.

I am pretty signed up to the argument that we lost the Constitution the day JFK was killed.

Jimmy Dore: "What is even more maddening than the Covid madness is people's willingness to memory hole Covid... and nobody has to pay a price for any of the lies they told.""There's not even a congressional hearing... to find out how this happened, how we did all this anti-science stuff... about masks, and lockdowns... and the vaccine itself—it doesn't stop transmission and contraction, which is the basis for mandates. It was nothing but lies.""As Bill Gates said after he cashed in his Pfizer stock... the virus had a low mortality rate, and it affected mostly the elderly, just like the flu... and so we shut the whole world down... over nothing, basically nothing.""And now everybody's just trying to pretend like that's old news, even though, as we all know, it takes at least 10 years to figure out what all the side effects are from... an experimental medical treatment, and they still, by the way, have the emergency use authorisation for the Covid booster vaccines.""It's kind of depressing that there hasn't been some kind of reckoning."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The people who run America from the shadows got away with everything with their COVID scam/treason......which means they will soon go for the killshot in enslaving us......digital currency, carbon credits, 15 minute slums, degrading the quality of food by a lot....all of it.
