    Democracy grants voters the power to kill democracy.

    Yeah, it’s almost like a cycle… And it ends in some form of fascism or feudalism every time. And each time, the perpetrators are taking lessons from the previous cycles and tweaking things; Sabotage public education here, erode the separation of religion and government there, fire-hose of disinformation here, using the internet as a weapon and means of oppression there, etc.

    This time they might’ve gotten it just right. I can only hope that I’m wrong.
