The Republic - who was a form of Democracy in ancient time - was seen as surviving it all - but ended in less than 100 year when the Optimates deiced they wanted to rule for them self - it ended in a long civil war where many of the finest families died out - or was re pleased by "lesser" families whose contact with military leaders was the main reason for their ability to get up to the highest powers - it ended in a way when Casesar was elected Dictator for life when he outrun his opponents and for a few years was able to rule Rome without any opponents - but even he was not secure and in the end he was killed by some of his closest friends who believed him to want to be a king who was crowned - and who also was devastating the Republic... After Caesars death - a violent civil war ensured - and in the end the Republic who had existed for 500 years - and survived all sorts of violence - ended it civil war when a family member of Caesar Octavian var the vining leader after Actinium - and then ruled the Roman Empire until AD 14, as an emperor - even though he was smart enough to cloth the new monarchy in republican garments

It can end the same way in the US - if you do not care for your republic - but in the case of US, I somehow doubt it will end up in a leader that is vice enough to do the right things - even if he is an all powerfully leader - It will end up in corporations taking over the power - and who in reality deiced the fate of the US in the back room - not in the Congress or Senate...

But I Guess they will be able to give you the illusion of democracy still for a while - like in ancient rome - election was held - leaders chosen long the consuls elected every year and so one - way ahead into the Empires age - even after the Senate lost most of its power - the illusion of an Republic existed as long as the Principiate existed..

It was not befor Domitian - the illusion on fthe Republic was replaced by a more direct control by the Empire - and the Emperor was given far more power than before - by then no one belived in the Republic anyway... And was content to give away its power to other who could do the job for them...
