I agree--& wake up in the middle of the night too.
I also think "minority rule" is too tame an expression for what may be coming.
And "authoritarian" has no meaning for many.
We're moving towards a time when VERY few have GREAT power & the rest of us have none & can't protest.

1/ I sometimes think we have a problem with words.
Words like:
Authoritarian
Oligarchy
Minority Rule
Socialism
Communism
Even democracy.
Some of them (socialism, communism) are buzz words used w/o meaning.
Some have dire meaning that often isn't grasped.

2/ It seems as though the meaning of "democracy" has slipped away.
That people don't grasp the vital way that democracy divides and distributes power, & gives a people the right to delegate that power & rule themselves.

3/ It also seems as tho the dire threat of democracy-lost has little meaning
That people don't see the degree to which they won't have power; will lose rights to protest or change things; their lives shaped by the whims & hungers of those w/power; w/no rule of law for rescue.
