H. L. Mencken once wrote, "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."
So, as this administration is giving the people the shaft that they deserve for supporting its inception, there is a small minority that will wake up for good and admit their errors, but I agree that it is unlikely that most will.
The problem with democracy as history has proven since the days of Athens is that unchecked it inevitably devolves into duhmacracy. That suits our modern-day progressives just fine, they never miss a chance to pound the word "democracy" into the heads of the proles as they are repeatedly conditioned to believe it is not a limited right, but a sacred right and a justification for the majority to enable the ruling criminal class with all their demagoguery to do whatever they please.
