This week’s Democracy Index column at The Contrarian starts like this, “‘You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war.’ So said Winston Churchill 87 years ago about Neville Chamberlain’s policy of appeasement, infamously secured in the Munich Agreement of 1938.” I know you can figure out what we’re talking about from just that. But this is one of my favorite posts so far from the group that meets every week to assess where we are. It’s searingly honest, but not without optimism. We’re also announcing the launch of a graphic we’ve had in the works that will give you a qualitative assessment of how we’re doing at a glance, permitting you to dig deeper into areas of interest. The Democracy Index is meant for people with less time to devote to following what Trump is doing to our country, but who still want to understand what it all means. We’re finding that everyone appreciates the summary. Sometimes, so much happens in a single week that by the end, it’s hard to remember it all. We draw the throughlines that help you focus on what’s most important. Head on over for a look and remember to share with friends. The Democracy Index is a free feature at The Contrarian, so everyone can read it. We’re in this together, Joyce You're currently a free subscriber to Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance .
