Democracy died in plain sight. It was a slow, agonizing death, punctuated by the deafening silence of complacency. We watched, numbed by the spectacle, as the foundations of our system crumbled around us. The cracks were visible for years, ignored by the masses, or brushed aside as mere blemishes on an otherwise perfect facade.

Exhausted, disheveled, and barely able to keep his eyes open, Donald Trump appeared to fall asleep during a recent campaign event.

The man who once wielded power and influence now seemed like a mere shell of his former self, struggling to make it through a simple interview in the comfort of his own home.

It’s both alarming and disheartening to witness the downward spiral that Donald Trump seems to be on. As he reaches the same age that his supporters criticized Joe Biden for during the last election, it’s clear that Trump’s own deterioration is no longer something that can be ignored.
