Abstract
This paper discusses the backsliding of democratic systems that are occurring throughout the world and focuses on the decline in the United States of America that began in 2006. It incorporates the important benefits of democracy and what role public administration, non-profit organizations, and higher education can and should play to sustain, maintain, and enhance democratic institutions. Included are also the future of democracy in the USA, threats presented by the binary political system, 2024 presidential election results, and critical importance of constitutional structure. Although the future of democracy remains in question in the USA, the paper concludes with signs of hope that our democratic system will prevail.
