While a common narrative is that today's events aborted Egypt's most recent democratic experiment, that narrative is incorrect. Former President Morsi initially undermined it in usurping the Constitutional Court's authority late last year to ram through a constitutional document (now suspended) against the objections of Egypt's minorities.

Egypt remains a generally moderate society. The events that preceded Morsi's ouster gained force as the widening gap between where Egypt's people stood and where Morsi was trying to lead the country became unsustainable.
