Exploring questions provoked by reading "The Plot to Destroy Democracy" by Malcolm Vance.

Do you find yourself asking everyday “How could this have happened?”  Analyst Malcolm Vance has some fascinating ideas about who got us here and where this all could be leading.  Check out his talk: https://youtu.be/paYbAyTtQto, read his book “The Plot to Destroy Democracy” or just come to share ideas as we explore questions he raises.

Our country currently has an administration that does not have democratic values and it is clear that the Trump administration is diminishing our democratic institutions.

  Malcolm Vance is painting a picture that this is a global phenomenon.  Many questions arise such as:

•  Should we look for response to this in political party platforms?
•  If not in platforms should we suggest/demand it be?
•  What policies would be good to support such as working with allies? 
•  Is there a question or two here to be used by the Endorsement team?

We will have an initial get together on August 7 at 7PM, since the book has 3 sections, perhaps 3 meetings will be needed to digest the content and discuss questions.

PS: If you don’t have time to read the book, here is a quote from the middle of the book that could stir up  a good conversation:
“Democracy itself would be the weapon that would bring down democracy. The vote would be the infectious vector--so long as the people are of one mind, they would vote their democracy out of existence….   “.
