I think history illustrates vividly that when democratic power is watered down by other means of power, the end result is bad for the people as a whole.
Democracy in 2020 in the United States looked more like 1890 than 1980. That’s not good for anyone.
And the regressive elements I reference exist by peddling fear and anger without addressing the source of the grievance or the problem faced. Someday, the people in places like Kansas will figure it out. In the meantime, folks will feast on the bread and circus of “LGBTQ”, or whatever is being served up by the outrage of the month club.
Ok, I am not looking for an argument but based on this response, I don't think you understand the critique at all. You keep using these words like democratic power, and it's not clear to me that you mean anything other than "things I like."
