Mostly agree.

And I can't stop thinking of that supposed quote from Tytler:

"A democracy can only exist until the majority of people discover that they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury."

Pillage while you can and it sounds virtuous, and buy votes. And then backpedal when things go too far and there's a populist uproar.

I.e. it's ultimately our own fault and people need to pay closer attention. Average BS detector is weak.
