Governments where one group takes everything don't last very long. I feel like we're at the brink of a violent revolution as it is, we came close during the COVID lockdowns.
But democracy is usually a good alternative for extreme change. America seems to be locked in a two party system though, which may be insufficient.

- version_five 3y agoI hope you're right. I saw the opposite in covid (and generally still do). A majority is happy to dehumanize and gang up on the minority in the name of safety or whatever, but it's really just human nature getting an acceptable outlet for hate. Many jurisdictions saw broad support for abandoning post enlightenment values and accepting their neighbors being demonized and tyrannized while authoritarian controls were applied to daily life. Next time I expect it will be worse, and for even worse reasons.
