There will always be winners and losers, haves and have nots, leftists and rightists.
The Republican party won the US election and the democrats are not willing to accept that. Interesting enough, that was a major question asked of Trump, whether or not he would accept the results of the election if he lost.
For democracy to work, the populace must accept the winners and work within the government and constitutions framework to moderate the winning parties agenda. However, what I am seeing is the anarchists working outside of the existing structures to basically get what they want by protesting and lobbying using the new media to organize.
That is the key difference. Anarchists are in media heaven with twitter and Facebook among other social media platforms. There also seems to be quite a large percentage of younger folks that seem to have lots of time on their hands to move around the country to protest. Perhaps if they had families to support or real, full time jobs they would be too busy to protest.
And what are they protesting? I wonder how many of these anarchists have the 7 visa banned countries on their bucket list to visit. I doubt very many of them. Face it, these countries are in turmoil. Bad things happen when good people sit and do nothing. But then again, that may be how the anarchists view themselves :-)
Just some random thoughts .. but the future for democracies does not look good!
