Democracy always starts off as nice and the inherent ability of the masses to pick the pockets of the worker always dooms it. That is why we are a Republic and as Ben Franklin said, "if you can keep it."
I fear we are nearing the end of the grand experiment as a Republic Democracy and descending into the hell of pure democracy.
Just look at Venezuela. Their Republic is gone. They became a democracy and that became a totalitarian hell.
The Venezuelan Constitution was based on our United States Constitution. It was eroded and destroyed by the corruption of an ideological judiciary. We have an ideological judiciary in the Untied States. Our great Constitution is in danger.
“I fear we are nearing the end of the grand experiment as a Republic Democracy and descending into the hell of pure democracy.”
Or worse. When we have people on the so called ‘right’ repeating the left’s talking points that ‘we are a democracy’, it’s hard to hold out much hope.
“The Venezuelan Constitution was based on our United States Constitution.”
I didn’t know that....
Scary times indeed.
