Oh for sure. This a point I bring up to my wife in these troubling times, which doesnt bring much comfort but the truth is western democracy is a relatively new and anomalous way of life for humans. Present day and throughout history, humans have scarcely lived under a government that they had much say in, or freedom. We are lucky to live in a time and place where we arent war-torn or enslaved. Its important that we fight to preserve this, or we will be.
