We are on schedule. People seem to need to get a reminder every few generations why authoritarians are terrible at running the country. Sometimes the process is peaceful. Sometimes it isn’t.
But the blame is not 100% on the authoritarians. The „we’ll refuse to do anything about your living conditions so you’ll radicalise and vote in somebody radical” is part of the cycle too.
Well when impressionable people get to define for themselves what a Nazi is (e.g. a car dealership for a company whose CEO we don’t like) and then firebomb it in the name of “punching the Nazis” then yeah I’m glad we’re trying to get past that.
