The Wolf Is At The Door

For years, people warned about creeping authoritarianism, the erosion of democratic norms, and the hollowing out of institutions. To some, these warnings felt like the boy who cried wolf—exaggerations, political fear-mongering, or just the usual noise of partisanship. But now, the wolf is no longer some distant threat on the horizon. It is at the door. And if we don’t acknowledge that reality, we may soon find there’s nothing left to defend. What we are witnessing isn’t just the implementation of Project 2025—it is something even more insidious: the systematic dismantling of the institutions that protect democracy itself. This is not hyperbole. It is happening now.
