According to CBS News columnist, Robert Costa, Senator Mitt Romney issued a stark message on the fragility of the American democracy at a recent fundraiser for Representative Liz Cheney in Northern Virginia. "Senator-Romney reportedly told the crowd that he had a chart in his Senate office tracing the history of civilizations over the past 4,000 years. He said it is a reminder of how they can rise and collapse, and of how unusual American democracy is in global history. From the Mongol Empire to the Roman Empire, Romney said, autocracy is the chart's "default setting," with authoritarian leaders at every turn, he reportedly added."
