1. The Supreme Court, the gerrymander, dark money

enforced pregnancy and the failure to address climate change put the structure of our institutions under hydraulic pressure.

2. When the Great Climate Migration starts en masse, democracy will be done in North America.

What ever government(s) we have will have declared a state of emergency.

3. I fully expect the right wing to attempt a breakup of the United States in the next 20 years.

Which would hand a victory to Russia, in which case, humanity is truly fucked.

4. I think it depends on your definition

Do I expect democracy to go away? Very small chance.

Do I see us becoming a very non-representative democracy? Where votes are rarely effectual and the minority carries too much power? It has already happened and we are in danger of having it cemented in place for a long time.
