Depends on HOW BIG the goverrnment is and what restrictions are placed on the government when it is setup...
If a Democracy is setup wrong it will quickly slide into a totalitarianism regime.
If it is setup as a method of selecting leaders in a Republic it will take longer to slide...
Lotta what its.
“What do we do about it?For most people it will be get another cold one from the fridge and turn on ESPN.Some people may go hunting.
Here is one solution.
All laws and regulations not put in the consitution have an expiration date no greater than 24 years.
So any bill in congress will expire in 24 years or less depending on how long they were approved for and have to be voted on again.
This ensures that the crappy regulations will have to die at some point.
Maybe even settign the expiration to less than 24 years, maybe 12 years (two terms of a senator) and term limit the people in power as well...
What if....???
CW-II, that’s what if if what if.
Democracy is wrong.
That’s why our Founding Fathers set up a limited government constitutional republic.
They knew mob rule would bankrupt the country.
And they were right.
We are at the end of the slide. We will either choose to lay in the sand or make the long climb back to the top. Most will choose the sand.
At the end of the day, power gets over concentrated till there is a reaction. After the reaction, the State fails as smaller units of power devour it.
Soon, those small units will band together in order to fight and consume other units till you have a State again.
This is history. The outward forms typically don’t matter.
We are on the downswing, and heading (I believe) to a “dark” age.

We KNOW democracy is bad for personal freedom, tyranny of the majority, which is exactly why America was designed as a republic.
When I was in school 70 years ago we were taught that democracy was the worst form of government!
we are, or were, Constitutional Republic and never intended to be a democracy.
Comrade, why do you worry?

What if I live in California?
What if I voted to bury the abomination of
“same-sex marriage.”
What if, in order to keep the people loving
sin more than God, the arbiters of what is
lawful ruled my law to be unlawful?
What if these few people used an unsound legal
technicality to overturn my law?
What if the people then started to make believe
that any two people is a marriage?
What if the social bedrock of my society was
completely eroded by this mockery?
What if my son was raised in a society in which
I was called a hater for loving goodness?
What if my son started to hate God’s guidance
too?
What if the entire future generation was
successfully transformed into a culture
that hated God’s values?
What if an entire country was brought
down by this process?
That is the purpose of the Second Amendment. Clean house and start over.
