Ever since the outdoor raucous May meeting of the Nevada County Board of Supervisors in which speaker after speaker publicly berated and threatened our elected officials, I’ve come to notice a troubling trend that our democratic norms are crumbling in our own backyard.
Democracy is not an inherited trait but a learned one. We are not born understanding parliamentary procedures or democratic ideals. We usually do not learn them at home, as most homes are run on an authoritarian model: Mom and Dad rule the roost.
We actually learn and experience democracy at school and in our own communities. Americans have, in the past, been a belonging group of people whose understanding of democratic principles have come through our associations with people and groups.
