Machiavelli pointed out that democracies do not long survive the people becoming licentious, that is, democracy cannot survive the people refusing to distinguish right from wrong.

We have a probably majoritarian political party whose only position is that wrong is right. The last President was elected and re-elected who was of the lowest moral character, whose "right" was whatever his depraved imagination desired. His wife is of much worse character and is now a Senator.

Democracy will not survive under these conditions.
