Our eldest, a 31yo intercity public school teacher & dem voter, declared that WE are overreacting to current political events. He said ALL of his left & center leaning friends believe the same. We have watched the blue tide ebb away & are failing to see the bloody red tsunami headed our way.

Our democracy has not fallen,it is being over-powered by corrupt interests-mvsk and white nationalists.
Monarchy defeated by natural aristocracy, replaced by meritocracy, then overtaken by arch capitalists, & currently facing a nationalist oligarchy.
Ultimately, US rule is retaken by revolution, becomes a more perfect union & a liberal democracy.
It provides for collective security, promotes general welfare & maintains economic balance through revenue sharing.
He believed that democracy was full of ignoramuses and sycophants who governed based on whims rather than knowledge. ( sound familiar?)
