A dark day for US democracy

Our researcher Danielle Piatkiewicz has written a blog about runoff elections to the US Senate and other recent events.

The question will be, how does the United States and those who support democracy move forward? Are we at the precipice for Republicans and populist parties finally taking responsibility for the right-wing ideology and emboldened extremism they have gleefully facilitated yet now try to distance themselves from?
