a link to the V-Dem Institute in Sweden, but I'm unsure if that's the entirety of the group. The report discussed was based on evaluation of data through 2018, with an update for 2020 in the works.

I don't remember the other source where I read about the unpublished conclusion for 2020, but since this group was already comparing the GOP to Hungary in 2018 and the GOP's become much worse since I included it.
I do know our own party's strong blue line of commitment to democracy will remain unchanged. That very slight softening around 2016 might be due to Sanders' populist movement, and we'd recovered by 2018 when that was mostly in abeyance, but he himself is proudly not a real Democrat, while his base split in the GE between Trump and other ways to vote against Democrats.
