I suppose a lot of them are going to take grim satisfaction from it, given the level of hysteria on the left about President Trump's very existence.
But it rather too cutely frames a canard. The left, including Time magazine, seems all in for the idea that democracy is crumbling – get a load of the magazine's new cover – and is using Stavridis to say grand things in response. It's incredible windbaggery.

Agree, we are a Constitutional Republic NOT a Democracy!
Democracy is a totalitarian manifestation not a form of freedom. 2 wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner. 2 imams and a hillary voting slut deciding who gets to have the clitorectomy.
We were a constitutional republic with a very limited democratic process to elect our representatives...Now were just a banana republic.
