Democracy in the world is backsliding in many countries around the globe at the present time due to various reasons. Different nations may have their own particular reasons such as socioeconomic inequality, poverty, failure of checks and balances that may result in an abrupt military coup d'etat to change from democracy to tyranny. In nations where democracy failed, there were no tanks on the street. Constitution of the land remained, but elected leaders became autocrats, maintaining a veneer of democracy.

America, being a nation with nearly 80 percent of Christians, has been the strongest democracy in the world who championed it as the model for the rest of the world. However, democracy in America appears to be in peril because of political bickering, partisan gridlock, and promulgation of falsities, misinformation, and faux faith by one political party.

By introducing the foundational principles of democracy from the philosophical arguments of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, the author shows how and why the cornerstone of democracy in America shows signs of crumbling. The book vividly explains:

Politics without God will shatter the foundation of democracy.

Present political system rejects the checks and balances laid by the founding fathers.

The right wing has cultivated a spirit of untruth that spreads like a wildfire.

Rejecting truth by political parties and leadership is a sign of strong delusion.

There is a clear moral bankruptcy in the present political sphere of our nation.

The brightness of democracy in America which Tocqueville praised has been tarnished.

Hypocritic and dishonest leaders should not reign, lest the people be ensnared.

American politicians must register their solemn oath in heaven to act in truth.

No nation can be established in one day but can shatter in one day by a despot.

America must realign with God to lead the nation in truth, justice, and freedom for all.

Democracy turns to tyranny when a moral man becomes amoral.

With biblical prophecies and instructions, the author shows that America faces a real threat to its democracy unless it resists tyrants with all their mind, soul, and strength, which is obedience to God who can anchor the nation on its solid foundation set by the Founding Fathers. Every citizen, political and judicial leaders of the nation, are the cupbearers and the watchmen of the nation.
