Question

should we still be concerned about democratic breakdown in todays world?​

Answer 1

Yes. Democracies are like delicate machines that work reasonably well, but never quietly or with optimal efficiency. They can go awry with remarkable speed, especially once you let amateur mechanics try to bypass critical safety features for short-term boosts in productivity, or skip maintenance procedures because they are boring, expensive and unglamorous.
