Such a system, is self terminating.

What people fail to see is that democracy will fail and the Republic will fall under these circumstances.

By voting for theocracy, a democracy votes itself out of existence. A democracy must have citizens who value democracy.

By voting against science, a democracy assumes the hubris that the laws of nature are subject to popularity. Betting against them is lethal in a non-metaphoric sense.

Politics is a lot more elastic than Physics, that’s why we have lasted this long. You’ve pretty well got me convinced, however, that we are at the end of the Muddling-through Phase.
