I think a lot about this recently. Studying Central & Eastern Europe I am used to large protests in defense of the Rule of Law when governments take their power too far. Apparently people in older democracies have unlearned that democracy is never granted and something we need but also can defend.

The much sympathy I have for this view, this is fatalistic. There is urgency to resist the turn into fully-fledged authoritarianism now. Resistance in authoritarianism is much harder cause things you take for granted right now in your repertoire like freedom of speech or assembly cease to mean much.
