Ergo, the fall of Democracies historically to Despotism, because people are stupid.
I dont think its because people are stupid, I think its because people suddenly stop compromising and are tired of seemingly weak and ineffectual leaders. People are deeply insecure and they want someone strong and ruthless enough to do all their thinking for them. Frank Herbert called it the superhero syndrome.
