It will indeed. But that's largely because of the citizenry themselves, in that they don't take the time to understand the government over them. They content themselves to be told that they live within a democracy, then tell themselves that democratic processes allow them to control their own fate(s). However, in the case of the United States at least, these very people are not citizens of a democracy but rather of a republic, a very different entity. This government has made minimal efforts to conceal their republic behind a thin veil of democratic institutions, and the citizens allow themselves to be fooled, despite the fact that the Constitution itself clearly states the formation of a republic. The real problem is a citizenry too lazy to educate itself about its own governance. Only with that problem addressed can we in the U.S. hope to make real change. . .
