The U.S. was downgraded to the 21st most free of 167 nations measured

In 2016, the United States was downgraded from a full democracy to a flawed democracy;[8] its score, which had been experiencing a persistent downward trend, crossed the threshold from 8.05 in 2015 to 7.98 in 2016. The report states that this was caused by a myriad of factors, dating back to the late 1960s, which eroded Americans' trust in governmental institutions.[8][9][10]



I think it might have somethiong to do with weaponizing the IRS in 2010-2012 to secure Obama's re-election by a narrow 51%, by suppressing Tea Party and religious conservative groups to win that 1%. And the number of districts that mysteriously voted 100% or higher, incredibly, for Obama.
And auditing and intimidating large Republican donors like Frank Vandersloot. I happen to know one Republican lawyer who has been active in the Republican party for decades, who was audited for the first time after the 2012 election.
And a neurologist and his wife who were audited around the same time for the first time in their lives. He thinks it's because he was vocally pro-Romney and posted a lot of linked articles in support of Romney on his Facebook page.

And the icing on the cake, Obama and the Hillary campaign weaponizing FBI, DOJ and the secret FISA court to illegally pseudo-authorize surveillance on Trump officials.
And the FBI hiring Russian nationals as "assets" to offer bait to Roger Stone, George Pappodopoulos, Rick Gates, Paul Manafort, Michael Caputo, Sam Clovis and possibly other Trump officials. In the cases of Sam Clovis and Roger Stone, they actually reported the "Russian" (actually FBI assets, fronting to be Russian) offer to the FBI, and FBI did nothing because it was their baited trap that Clovis and Stone didn't bite on. A situation worthy of an Orwell or Kafka novel.

I just watched an interview tonight with Jerome Corsi, and FBI unable to shake him down, they are now doing surveillance and harassing his extended family to ratchet up the pressure on Corsi himself.

Plus the over 600 attacks on Republicans, often for things no greater than wearing a Trump campaign "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" hat.

The Democrat version of the Bolsheviks has not gone unnoticed by the rest of the world.

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
