Wow, what great timing, I wrote about this today: https://acoup.blog/2020/10/30/fireside-friday-october-30-2020/ … This only holds true if you use the artificially small modern democracy sample; get into ancient democracies, this 'emprical matter' turns on its head and we see that democratic deconsolidation was common.https://twitter.com/shadihamid/status/1322203799008743430 …
Democratic deconsolidation was sufficiently common that ancient Greek writers theorized about it (e.g. famously Plb. 6.3.9-13). This is a real problem with political theories that don't reach past the modern period - the small sample set leads to absurd 'emprical' conclusions.
So anyone telling themselves that their democracy is safe because "old consolidated democracies" never deconsolidate is fooling themselves.
Self-government is fragile. It was fragile in Athens, fragile in Rome. Fragile.
Handle your democracy with care. This side up 
I should add that I see no compelling argument that modern democracies are uniquely resistant to deconsolidation in a way that ancient democracies were not If anything, wouldn't we assume small, tight-knit democracies beset by security threats would be *harder* to deconsolidate?
