The thing with democracies is, their rot and death is often not visible from within the democracy. As a sad spectator outside the North America, I can confidently predict the end of democracy in this continent is continuing at a rapid pace. Due to the nature of resentment, you can never extinguish it by more ruthless measures. Small periodic eruptions is what keeps a volcano from having a bigger bang. When you close every vent, you just create a lot more pressure inside. My prediction would be civil war in both countries in coming decades if the current schism between the left and right doesn't get filled soon. Media and politicians started this fire for their own gains and its raging in every heart without anyone in control.
