Democracy At The Brink <\/i><\/b>is the authors\u2019 spin on current events in the United States following the 2020 presidential election.\u00a0 <\/span>In our alternative universe, the country inherited by the new Democratic president takes a different course.\u00a0 <\/span>African American Alfred Turner faces a seriously divided nation, split along racial and economic lines; the rising threat of domestic terrorism; and the waning of the United States\u2019 international influence as China, Iran, and Russia vie for world dominance.<\/p>\n

Turner\u2019s United States is anything but, and so are its relationships abroad \u2013 exactly as the contemporary situation.\u00a0 <\/span>Several advantages, however, help the new President negotiate positive outcomes, but they come at a very heavy price.\u00a0 <\/span>Turner\u2019s savvy appointments to his administration reflect the actual diversity of the country and put people of color, many remarkable women, in leadership positions.\u00a0 <\/span>The cultural shift is tectonic in its level of violence, demonstrating realistically the logical outcomes of the current social trajectory. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
