Yet those very freedoms give licence to those who fundamentally spurn them and threaten the ideals of democracy themselves. The Inauguration of Donald Trump illustrates the paradox. The demonstrations against his accession were greater that the public show of support at his swearing in. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | AQ: Australian Quarterly, 88(2), p. 15-21 | Publisher: | Australian Institute of Policy and Science | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1837-1892 1443-3605 0005-0091 |
