The new vice-chair of the Democratic Party said yesterday that school shootings are the fault of democracy, and climate change issues can't be solved because of democracy.
Then there's the problem that a lot of people voted for Trump, so it's clear that democracy doesn't work out so well sometimes.
And of course many Trump supporters think that the US government has so completely failed to address their concerns that we need a Strong Man to take care of things -- a tough rude boy to cut through the resistance.
When both parties are starting to make anti-democracy noises, it makes me wonder if things are about to change in a big way.
