It's called, 'The Tytler Cycle.' It's nothing new.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury.

From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.

The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.

These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”

― Alexander Fraser Tytler

So what form of government is the alternative?

You are correct that is exactly where we are. which is why Jefferson said that “from time to time the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of Patriots and tyrants”.

That’s where we are headed if a 2024 election is allowed to take place because we all know it will be stolen right in front of our face just like last time. Only this time it will kick off a massive reaction.

Fortunately for us Donald Trump and who ever you want to label as the alliance are going to spare us that nightmare. Even now we are watching things unwind at an accelerated pace. I can’t imagine what it will look like in 3 mos from now. I think sometime next year we will all be rejoicing.
