<p><strong style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(83 90 98 1)>America's democracy is imperiled-not from foreign enemies or economic collapse but from a poison within: extreme partisanship that has transformed fellow citizens into hardened enemies.</strong></p><p></p><p>Former police chief and global governance expert Nicholas A. Sensley delivers an urgent wake-up call about the systematic erosion of American democracy. Drawing on his unique experience from UCLA's campus to international anti-corruption work Sensley reveals how partisan tribalism has replaced constitutional patriotism threatening the very foundation of our Republic.</p><p></p><p><em>Endangered Republic</em> exposes the dangerous transformation of American politics through:</p><ul><li><strong>The weaponization of information</strong> - How alternative facts and systematic disinformation have created parallel realities based on partisan loyalty</li><li><strong>The mainstreaming of extremism</strong> - The disturbing evolution from fringe ideologies to institutional policy</li><li><strong>The assault on democratic institutions</strong> - How checks and balances designed to prevent authoritarian rule have been systematically weakened</li><li><strong>The suppression of dissent</strong> - How loyalty tests have replaced professional integrity across American institutions</li><li><strong>The hijacking of faith</strong> - How religious communities have been transformed from moral voices into partisan weapons</li></ul><p></p><p>But this isn't just another analysis of polarization. Sensley charts a practical path forward through nonpartisan citizenship-a commitment to democratic principles that transcends party loyalty. He shows how citizens across the political spectrum can reclaim their Republic through concrete actions: practicing information responsibility engaging constructively across differences defending fair democratic processes and rebuilding civic institutions from the ground up.</p><p></p><p>With America's democratic future hanging in the balance <em>Endangered Republic</em> offers both a sobering diagnosis of our constitutional crisis and a hopeful blueprint for democratic renewal. This is essential reading for anyone who believes the Republic is worth saving-regardless of their political affiliation.</p><p></p><p><em>Endangered Republic</em> arrives at the perfect moment: late enough to prove its warnings prescient early enough for its solutions to work. It's the book America needs not to win the next election but to ensure there will always be a next election.</p><p></p><p><strong>This is the owner's manual for democracy that should be required reading for every American citizen.</strong></p>
