Democracy Hypocrisy Report Video


Transcript:

The video consists of white text against a dark gray background. Dynamic red and blue dotted lines appear throughout the video slides as decoration. Text on the screen says: “How do Americans Feel About Democracy?” Somber, instrumental hip-hop music fades in.

The video shows three slides that transition from one to the next, with a set of text on each slide. The slides show the following text:

“We asked Americans how they feel about democratic norms…and their answers showed a partisan double standard as support for limits on executive power changed from one president to the next.”

The video then transitions to a slide titled “Support for Congressional Oversight of the President.” Below the title is a line graph that has a blue line labeled “DEM” to represent Democrat support for Congressional Oversight, and a red line labeled “GOP” to represent Republican support for Congressional Oversight. The graph indicates that in 2017, Republican support for oversight of the president was below 70%, but increased to above 85% in 2022. The graph also indicates that in 2017, Democrat support for oversight of the president was above 90% in 2017, and below 85% in 2022.

The video transitions to the next slide. Text on screen says “support for democracy shouldn’t depend on who’s in the White House.”

The video ends with a final slide showing text on screen saying “now more than ever, we all must stand up in defense of democratic norms over partisan interests.” Below the text is the logo for Democracy Fund, which displays the words "democracy fund" between red, blue, and gray overlapping arcs.
