自2017年以来,美国民主得分下降到5+5,原因是规范受到侵蚀,引起对独裁的担忧。 U.S. democracy score dropped to +5 since 2017 due to erosion of norms, raising autocracy concerns.

自2017年以来,美国从10+民主得分下降到5+民主得分,这标志着向一种带有专制性特征的无政府-杂交政权的转变,这是由于采取了包括净化官员、拒绝税收披露、赦免盟友、阻碍监督以及试图推翻2020年选举在内的各种行动。 The U.S. has declined from a democracy score of +10 to +5 since 2017, marking a shift to an anocracy—hybrid regime with autocratic traits—due to actions including purging officials, refusing tax disclosures, pardoning allies, obstructing oversight, and attempting to overturn the 2020 election. 专家警告说,独裁往往通过削弱规范而逐渐出现,例如行政过度、司法政治化、无正当理由地使用联邦部队,而不是突然的政变。 Experts warn that autocracy often emerges gradually through erosion of norms, such as executive overreach, politicizing justice, and using federal forces without justification, rather than sudden coups. 令人关切的问题是,规模小、累积的行动可能会破坏问责制和法治,而该国现在正处于民主复原力面临风险的关键时刻。 The concern is that small, cumulative actions may undermine accountability and rule of law, with the country now at a critical juncture where democratic resilience is at risk.
