Most of the time, there is not a singular moment when the executive dramatically seizes power.
There's not normally a brazen attempt to burn down the parliament building.
No, instead, democracies die when gradually, often quietly and methodically over time, the structures that hold the executive accountable for corruption, for thievery, for wrongdoing are dismantled.
There are four institutions that the regime attacks and attacks relentlessly until those structures of accountability are so disintegrated that even though elections continue to happen,
the same party or the same person wins power election after election.
And those four institutions are the press, the legal profession, universities, and the business community.
If you degrade or co-opt these four institutions, you never need to have a high-stakes fight with the top court in your country.
