    I think we are in for a shit sandwich. Not a flourishing of democracy, but a general failure of the non American system and a great shrinking of the American system from global to “friends we like and protect”.

    Democracies will shine above the rest. But I don’t see a great push for them in the wider world, especially with America so disillusioned with the idea of spreading democracy as a concept.

      It also doesn’t help that one of our major political parties here in the US openly doesn’t like the concept of democracy and is working to subvert it here.

      A shit show is in the near future for sure.

      Hopefully a flourishing of democracy is in the cards but that’s going to be a tough sell for people who haven’t had one.
