Are we witnessing what's neither the first nor the last testing of the limits of US democracy? Or is Donald Trump taking the world's most powerful nation into unchartered territory? What to make of the attacks on judges and lawyers, as well as the attempt to gut vast swathes of the government and even shut down public broadcasting? Do Americans mind this new turn? After all, a majority voted for Trump despite the attempt to overturn by force his defeat four years ago.
