In "Where Tyranny Begins," Andrew Sullivan presents a compelling analysis of the dangers of unchecked power and the subtle erosion of democratic norms. Drawing on historical examples and contemporary observations, Sullivan argues that tyranny often creeps in gradually through the normalization of authoritarian tendencies. The book explores how societal polarization, the decline of traditional institutions, and the rise of tribalism can pave the way for the suppression of dissent and the abuse of authority. Sullivan's work urges readers to be vigilant in defending the principles of liberty, individual rights, and the rule of law, emphasizing that the fight against tyranny is an ongoing battle requiring constant vigilance and active participation from every citizen. It serves as a powerful reminder of the fragility of democracy and the importance of safeguarding it.
