What is happening around the world today is the manifestation of the failure of democracy, igniting a realization that the system is rigged by the Government of the rich, by the rich and for the rich.
When middle class citizens that once could live in relative ease and comfort are cannibalized by the superrich and being erased and falling into the same position as the underprivileged, we know the system has failed.
A democracy is supposed to give citizens a chance to choose a government that is going to work for them and look after everyone, rich or poor. But the actual outcome says otherwise. Take Trump as an example who cuts taxes for the super-rich and imposed an added tax masquerading as tariffs hoping to patch the hole resulting from the tax cuts for the already rich elites by punishing the poor.
A system cannot just continue to fool its citizens all the time. When stomachs are hungry and jobs are scarce, the result is going to be chaos and demonstrations. Sure, such protest can be put down with force, but the problem does not just go away. It festers and gets worse over time.

Time is ripe for a civil war in US.
They're all fully armed so it'll be a nice show. Sit back and enjoy.
Democracy is also a way for those elected to enrich themselves & their crony. A good example can be found in the little red dot in SEA. The other fault of democracy is also the voters themselves. Voters are very happy to be screwed by the rich politicians every election.
