[FRIAM] The Insurrection Index

I hear that quote repeated and I can't help but think it's a bit exceptionalist. I'm no scholar of types of government. But the quote, and the sentiment, always seems flawed to me, as if "democracy" were well defined. I mean, if we can call the US and the many European governments "democracies", all in the same vague class, with all the different voting protocols, representation methods, local -> national hierarchy, etc., what can the word really even mean? It's just too vague to hold the water implied by "all the other one's we've tried".
