I've been watching this presentation and found it to gloss over an important finding: only 1/3 of those who responded to the questionnaire associated with the item favorably, such that they are democrats.
Now, the issue becomes how to improve the favorable response math, it seems to me. You will note that the project in UK known as Brexit has recently been concluded. I believe that one of the essential reasons that the UK has become prominently so distinguished is that it has its own group of nations namely, the Commonwealth of Nations, each of whom declares itself a practitioner of democratic principles. The US, I note, has no such institution that identifies democracies, to my knowledge.
President Biden devoted his Presidency to promoting democracy in the world, certainly in the nation. Possibly, he understood, as do I, that those of us enjoying the benefits of democracy should sponsorship of the concept, among especially among those countries that are non-democratic. It is needed in instances where countries that might, or are considering becoming, a democracy work with some democracy as a mentor, e.g., one those members of the UK Commonwealth, so as their success in making the transition will be true.
My opinion.
