Democracy’s Dead, So Now What? Post-Trump America, the Palestinian Genocide, and a Crisis of Credibility

Democracy’s decline is no longer a future risk—it is our present reality. From the populist fractures of post-Trump America to Britain’s quiet complicity in the Palestinian genocide, the West’s moral authority has been hollowed out. The credibility of liberal democracy now falters under the weight of its own double standards, creating a vacuum in global leadership. Over the next decade, as institutional trust collapses, a new political current is set to rise: grassroots, populace-driven movements that lean toward socialism. This article examines the erosion of democratic systems, the triggers behind the West’s loss of standing, and the political trajectories that could reshape the world order.

Who’s Fault is it Anyway? Rethinking Domestic Abuse and Cultural Norms

It’s cultural.” But if I made the same confession to the average Middle Eastern person, particularly to a woman, they would immediately start telling me about what rights I have, not just under the prevailing laws of the country that I live in, but also, many of them would more confidently and more emphatically tell me about my rights according to Islam.

Beyond ‘Mixed Race’: How Language Will Dismantle Racism
