For sure, but most countries are not democracies. Too many people wrongly think having elections is enough to sustain democracy. If there are no checks and balances, there is no democracy even when there are elections taking place. See Turkey, Russia, Hungary and soon, Israel.

That’s exactly it. If the vast majority of citizens don’t understand what is happening to their country,and there happens to be a bad actor in charge,who surrounded himself with yes men who parrot his doctrine, democracy doesnt stand a chance. Protest is the only way, but you need thinking citizens.

The protest is in vain. The vast majority of Israeli citizens either don’t understand the gravity of the situation, or understand but don’t believe anything can be done about it.
