It seems to me that even with more easy access to information than ever before, people are less engaged in "doing" democracy (not much other than voting) and that is why it is so easy for anti-democratic efforts to prevail. Fascism and oligarchy/authoritarian government seems to be a default and needs to be constantly countered by activism. Democracy should occur throughout our society - schools should not be lead by one person (the principal), companies and businesses should not be lead by one CEO representing investors, etc. and even clubs/social organizations need to incorporate a democratic consensus-building process. Democracy is hard but if it is experienced every day, we can get good at it. Just my thought.
