We don't have democracy, we have liberal democracy there is a significant distinction. People have lost faith in liberal democracy because they feel it's no longer looking out for their interests but the interest of the minority. Whether that's the rich or other groups, for the lower classes this is framed as a racial struggle. The issue is not that they have no experience with other forms, it's that liberal democracy is suppose to protect the minority from the majority, but it seems the opposite problem is now the case. The majority feels it needs to be protected from the minority. Either the system caters to that, or people are going to rebel. You need to protect the minority because they are good for the economy and the masses. Until the masses no longer feel that this is the case. That's what the so-called pseudo-elite don't understand. The relationship is one of power sharing, not of ownership. This is not a normative statement, this is a realist statement. This is how things work in the real world. We have no experience with this, other than perhaps Fascism, because liberal democracy has not had this problem before. In that there has been constant growth and therefore employment for its entire history, sharing the power between minority and majority. You can close your eyes to this, but if you have a bunch of unemployed people that feel dis-empowered as a group they are going to react. First they are going to react by electing the likes of Trump. When that doesn't work they are going to react with force. Unless you do something about the way that they feel about the political situation. As Mark Cuban said, money makes everything better. They don't have money, they are reacting.
