Legitimacy Crisis & Violent Populism in the America

"The era of violent populism is likely to continue and even worsen, with
growing polarization, logjams in decision-making in Washington, and
increasing risks of political upheaval. U.S. states may seek to prevent
the implementation of national policies that conflict with their
constituents’ views. And the country’s internal political turbulence
will compromise Washington’s ability to provide leadership on the world
stage.

The United States was already on the verge of a legitimacy crisis before
the election. According to national surveys by the University of Chicago
Project on Security and Threats, public confidence in American democracy
has been at worrisome levels throughout 2024. Almost half of the public
(45 percent of Democrats and 49 percent of Republicans) believe that
“elections will not solve America’s most fundamental political and
social problems.” Nearly as many (42 percent of Democrats and 55 percent
of Republicans) think that “political elites, both Democrats and
Republicans, are the most immoral and corrupt people in America.”
Most worrisome, the public is sharply divided on how the outcome of the
election will affect democracy. Nearly nine in ten Democrats (86
percent) agree that Donald Trump is a “danger to democracy,” and two out
of three Republicans say that “Kamala Harris is a danger to democracy.”
Forty-four percent of Democrats and 48 percent of Republicans worry that
if their preferred presidential candidate loses, “people like me will be
second-class citizens.”"
