I believe just the opposite. If anything Democracy will die and Authoritarianism will rise. especially in the US. This isn't just a Trump thing. Since the infusion of the Evangelical Right into the Republican party we have has the slow painful death of compromise. Democracy need compromise to stay alive. Also, the republicans have been attacking the foundations of free society for a while but are now doing in unabashedly. They want one Christian Authoritarian society and have been making great strides towards that.
They would love nothing better than to abolish the Democratic party
What would this terrible Evangelical dystopia look like?
Would we all be forced into daily Bible readings by animatronic impressions of Pat Robertson?
Not to "worry."
The Christian right has been in decline for a good while, and the National Right is probably going to fade away soon.
When big C-Conservatism fades away you will probably be able to enjoy a benign, indolent, and overly medicated society on a precipitous decline for a while. At least until something horrible happens with AI, or until a philosophy with that true authoritarian bite to which Americans have been unaccustomed comes home to fill the vacuous cultural vacuum.
