We're at a low point right now because the majority of the majority demo in the us believes that democracy is, in some strange way, victimizing them. That's not fixable. Even disproportionate representation isn't enough.
I don’t know if I’m convinced of the “majority of the majority” being anti-democratic. I think the true ‘silent majority’ in the US is fairly centrist (that is, centrist in the American sense), at least based on more recent observations. But I don’t think most of them actively want to see democracy end. I only hear that type of rhetoric from the far-right.
