What are the main challenges facing democracy today?

DCP Response Card
Militant nationalist Christians, politicians invested in turning back the times to ensure that women, people of color, immigrants, and members of the LGBTQ communities, and anyone else seen as “other” is the biggest threat to democracy today. As the right to self autonomy is being chipped away, the right to abortion, marriage, health care and the right to vote is in danger of being stripped from us citizens.
