I've been waiting for this to drop. In my story this is happening. Going from democracy to a kind of tyranical theocracy.

Thank you for a very thought provoking video, Tim. This'll actually be very helpful for my world building. But I get the impression your closing statements were referring to America. Over the past decade, our 2 parties have been in a tug-of-war over political power. And they've been trying to undermine their opponents by doing everything from writing disproportionate laws to making cherry-picked narratives. This has created a scenario of dueling narratives. To be clear, our current leadership is constantly framed as authoritarian. But it's a much different story for those who voted for them. The drastic change seen to everything from culture to social standards has been souring people's opinions of one party. So, the other is fast moving to try filling the void. Thus, the pendulum swings, as it's done in decades before. As far as I see, we're seeing a repeat of our politics from the late 1970s to early 1980s.
