Indeed. People forget that one of the purposes of democracy simply to keep rulers honest and allow for the replacement of components that aren’t working. Which isn’t to say that ruling factions don’t spend a lot of time in democracies trying to neutralise this.

That hasn't been the case in the US for a long, long time. People haven't forgotten, it just no longer applies.
