I found the democracy index for "the world" interesting. In 2006 it was at 5.5 and in 2023 down to 5.2.

Not surprising. While there has been some movement in the positive direction (like Syria - though we still have to see how this will last) we see more movement in the other direction like Hungary, Poland (in a lesser extend), etc. No doubt in small part due to social media, allowing fake news and dumb simplicity to spread much more easily beyond the local social bubble.
