In one scenario, large numbers of politically apathetic citizens will become energized, rise up, and vote for candidates who will commit to protecting their rights and freedoms.
In a second scenario, an organized ideological minority will consolidate power by systematically dismantling protections for those rights.
I don’t have much hope for the first scenario, because the second one has been raging forward unchecked for the past fifty years, and the chance to stop it, short of a violent revolution, is almost out of reach.
