Do Americans know how much trouble we're in?

Apparently not according to this article. First he describes 3 things that have become indicators: 1) A President that claims he can pardon himself; 2) An ambassador to Germany that wants to topple the German government; 3) Senators supporting a child detention center.

"Do Americans understand how much trouble they’re now in? How grave the threat to America’s constitutional democracy, its civil society, its place in the world, and its ongoing survival is? [...] America is at a crossroads. A point of no return. A democratic society cannot really survive the three assaults above, and go on being one. They may seem like just daily events in the ongoing sad saga of a troubled nation — but they are not just that. They contain great significance to history, which I feel American intellectuals are doing a poor job of interpreting and presenting to the American people."
