Rethinking Democracy 104: How can the Present-Absent Effective Targeted Chaos and Independent Rule of Law Quadrant-Based Framework Be Used to Show How the Democratic Landscape Has Changed Since 2016 Brexit And 2016 Trumpism?

Before 2016 the liberal democracy landscape was based on competing normal democratic outcomes under normal democratic chaos under an independent rule of law system on how to best implement the best interest of the majority as seen by competing democratic forces. The coming of the 2016 Brexit as confirmed by 2016 Usexit brough a new variable into the equation, effective targeted chaos, which transform the competition between normal democratic outcomes into a competition between normal democratic outcomes and extreme democratic outcomes, changing the democratic landscape, a fact apparently missed by those following traditional democratic thinking as they apparently have been treating extreme democratic outcomes as normal democratic outcomes because the coming of extreme democratic outcomes falls outside traditional economic thinking. Hence, there is not just a need to formally acknowledge that the democratic landscape changed since 2016, but also a need to know or see in simple terms what has changed, and the implications associated with that change for the survival of liberal democracies. And this raises the questions: how can the present-absent effective targeted chaos and independent rule of law quadrant-based framework be used to show how the democratic landscape has changed since 2016 Brexit and 2016 Trumpism? What are the implications of this? Among the goals of this paper is to provide answers to those questions
