Identity politics means vote outcomes will depend solely on demographic data, and polarization has RAPIDLY increased over recent decades.
Some demographic groups already polarize their votes over 90%, the goal of the people in charge is to get ALL demographic groups polarized over 90% then we can get rid of pesky elections and nobody will care or notice.
To some extent, for a surprisingly large fraction of the population, its already true that they only get to vote when they decide to have a child.
The way to overthrow a democracy is not upfront violence but to make it irrelevant. Right now if we did away with uncontested municipal elections nobody would care, for example.
