Yascha Mounk, associate professor at Johns Hopkins SAIS and expert on the rise of populism, describes three main challenges to democracy: the stagnation of living standards in developed democracies, cultural and demographic changes that are shifting the status quo, and the social media\\u2019s domination. These elements have combined to increase the supply of \\u201cnoxious ideas\\u201d that have led to factions and division in the United States and other countries. One way to reverse this process, Mounk argues, is to resist divisive ideology in favor of what he calls \\u201cinclusive nationalism.\\u201d
