One explanation, what Harvard Prof. Daniel Ziblatt calls the “Conservative dilemma,” which goes like this:
🔹 Conservatives represent the interests of a few wealthy people.
🔹 Their economic policies are unpopular.
🔹 So when more people are allowed to vote, they have a problem.
The problem is compounded by the fact that plutocracy is incompatible with democracy.
Too much income inequality kills democracy because too much power is concentrated into the hands of a few people.
