You make good points around the default of hierarchy in how humans organize complex governance; and you do well to highlight the ways America is not and never has been a direct democracy. America is a republic of individual states that have distinct histories of development. And I don’t see the entire conglomerate of America being faked-out into long-term fascism by FOX news or radical governors from Virginia, Texas, Florida, and elsewhere. There is and will be pushback. The momentum overall in America is to reach for fairness and equality. It’s not always a straight line or necessarily logical in how we move forward, but we will keep perfecting ourselves.
