History is only progress and moving to democrasy
Pure democracy may be a good thing. Pure democracy means giving power to 100% of the people. But modern democracy is not like that. Sometimes 40% or even less votes are needed to win an election. And if an ethnic group comprises 40% of the population and votes en bloc for a particular political party, then that party can afford to ignore the remaining 60%.
That's one of its flaws, even in ancient times. That's why it has been called "tyranny of the many". Socrates was deeply critical of direct democracy - and rightly so, it got him killed. Representative democracy was created to avoid descending into mob rule but it is far from perfect as well and can end up with the population divided into camps, like what we are seeing now in the US.
And like we see in Britain, with Brexit. Time to divide these nations (USA and Britain) into several smaller countries... and ultimately, to make each person his own country.
Hey, that's the way the USA and Britain were set up... The USA with Amendments 6, 7, 9, and 10, which give everyone the right to reject any or all government... and Britain with Queen's Bench (court), which gives them the right to do the same as the USA.
