i've actually been doing a little experiment, speaking with different friends of mine across the political lines, and from what i can determine... no one really cares about democracy anymore. my left-wing friends believe democracy has failed to prevent itself from being co-opted by fascism or just that it's shitty at representing people. my right-wing friends think it's shit at representing people and keeping people safe as a governmental style.
i did not receive a single answer that was in favor of democracy. even my one retarded normie leftie friend i spoke with only said that as long as his life didn't change he wouldn't really care if democracy went away. i really think that by 2100, the united states will not be a democracy anymore. maybe even 2075. if you're super optimistic, it could even happen by 2050. but i fully believe it's coming, and the final act of democracy in this country will be killing itself as people vote for the first king of america, or emperor, or whatever we decide to call it. forever president.
perhaps commander in chief becomes the official title, i like that one.
