If the voters reject Democrats because they were “in charge” while inflation hurt them, then, yes, it could be the end stage of democracy in the USA. Though honestly, I think that if that happens we should mark the beginning of the end somewhere earlier than the 2016 campaign that resulted in an entirely unfit person occupying the White House. Possibly the true beginning was Gingrich’s decision to treat Democrats as the enemy.
