Summary
 John Adams once said, ”There’s never been a democracy yet that didn’t die by suicide.” To which we ask, or was it... murder? If regicide is the murder of Kings, homicide is the murder of people, and herbicide is the murder of plants, then democricide is the murder of democracies. In each season of Democricide, sibling hosts Kenny and Heather will look at a different historical democracy and ask the question, who killed it?Copyright 2025 All rights reserved. True Crime World
