Former U.S. President Barack Obama just dropped a truth bomb 💣 about America's political future. At a civic engagement event in Connecticut, he warned that the U.S. is "dangerously close" to losing its democratic foundations – and Gen Z should care. 🗳️
Democracy in Peril?
Obama called out recent actions by U.S. government officials that mirror "autocratic regimes", stressing that norms like judicial independence and press freedom are under threat. 🛑 His message? This isn't about left vs. right – it's about preserving core values that allow "compromise and coexistence" in a pluralistic society.
What’s Freedom Really About?
The 44th president redefined freedom as more than political slogans: "True freedom lives where the rule of law thrives, journalists report freely, and protests drive change" ✊. With midterms approaching, his warning serves as both a wake-up call and a playbook for young voters worldwide 🌍.
