There is widespread perception that rule of law has failed at the top levels at least—with politically motivated prosecutions (timing of stacked Trump indictments is clearly motivated by his candidacy)
is it clearly motivated by trump’s candidacy? he officially announced in november 2022, he was dropping un-subtle hints about running for 2 years, and he started his 2020 campaign on inauguration day, 2017. maybe the timing of indictments was motivated by the republican primaries, but election season is 2 out of 4 years.
nit-picking aside, i agree with you and OP. not sure why other people are so confident in US stability when political and cultural health are obviously declining
