idk. The USA didn’t actually become a full democracy (by modern standards) until the 1960s, after the civil rights act of 1964 when voting rights were (mostly) guaranteed. We are currently witnessing these rights being rolled back. One can just as easily say that the USA is ending a 60 year experiment with equal rights and regressing to the tried and trusted 200 years of slanted democracy.

But that’s not what I’m interested in though. False analogs and convenient distinctions are easy to come by. What I’m looking for is a historical trend of voting behavior during a democratic regression.
