Why is it so hard to process the dismantling of democracy? Is there some trait in habitus that makes us believe in the continued power and efficiency of institutions even though these may have, from an 'objective' point of view, stopped functioning? Some kind of institutional hysteresis effect?

Sverige är redo och har erbjudit sig att ta emot brandskadade patienter efter barbranden i Crans-Montana i Schweiz, säger sjukvårdsminister Elisabet Lann (KD) till TT.
