Why not. Freedom of speech and thought have already been fractured.

CLEMS: The five pillars of a healthy society and economy…. Capitalism, Law and order, cheap Energy, Meritocracy, freedom of Speech.

Maybe we should add one more; “a physical currency.”

The great problem with "democracy" is that avoiding self-imposed tyranny requires an intelligent and informed public. We have neither. The median IQ of the USA is probably 95 or lower, not high enough to be a sustainable independent republic, and it is dropping daily as we import millions of occupants of failed societies, many of which would literally still be in the stone age had they not been colonized. We've stood by stupidly as tyrants have gained control of both academia and our media, which together determine the ideology of both our current and future populations. I really don't see much hope here.
