Historically democracies last about 250 years and are generally replaced by a dictatorship.
The basic cycle is as follows.
Hard men create good times> good times create soft men>Soft men create hard times> Hard men create good times>ad nauseum.
Life has gotten far too easy for us and created a soft people. Coupling that with internal corruption and we're well on the way to chaos.
Sounds about right if you've ever studied history.
Sad but true, Sic transit gloria!
