Uuuuh... Should probably look up what democracy is, where it came from, and how it's been declined.for many, many, many centuries before our time.
The general consensus is about 60% values of democratic nature works well before leaning fully into it. We have plenty of history to show us it's shortcomings, while just as much to show us why much of it is crucial.
I'm more inclined "democracy" in this meme just means "back in my day" when things were better.
I'm confused at what this reductionist talk is aimed at. It's always been becoming more shit to this sudden lurch towards authoritarianism is okay?
