> “Democracy always works” has been shown to be objectively false Citation needed, never heard this said by anybody. "democracy" is a wide, wide thing. Technically Russia is a democracy. Also in Europe democracies' presidents don't have the same level of power as Trump, and are more limited. Democracies only work as long as the people are smart, invested, informed and politicians are accountable and changed often to avoid concentration of power. Bureaucracy is hell, until you realize it's a feature since it complicates power grabs. Even Churchill said "democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others", so I really have no idea where you got the "it always works" from.
