Yes, the prospect of democracy is very dim, and those who insist the US is not a democracy are largely to blame for this. These are often the same people who argue against paying taxes for public education. They insist the US is a Republic and seem to believe a Republic is best with only a few schalors are making the decisions. They do not get why this becomes a tyranny. Often I feel like I am standing alone against such an opinion and that those holding it address me very condensendingly.
