Well the USA is not a democracy so there is nothing there to die. We are a Republic based on rule of law not mob rule. We follow our Constitution and its amendments.

How can something die if it wasn’t alive to begin with?

Again, it reminds me of that ludicrous lawyer, Sean Wilentz, who during the congressional hearings on BJ Clinton’s various escapades, intoned to Mary Bono that she would be hunted down like a rapid dog for what she was doing. I mean, Mary Bono?

We are not a democracy.We are a representative Republic.

The Founders made their views on Democracy clear, as is evienced by this quote from John Adams.

Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. John Adams

This constant talk of "Democracy" from the fake news imbecile propagandists and communist politicians is nauseating.

The march towards communism begins with democracy, and the example of Venezuela will surely be repeated here in the USA unless steps are taken to disenfranchise the parasite class.

Will Trump be the beginning of the turning of the tide or a footnote?

Even Hitler was a able to make a rational case for the danger of democracy, universal suffrage, and its ultimate degeneration into Bolshevism.

“...democracy will in practice lead to the destruction of a people’s true values. And this also serves to explain how it is that people with a great past from the time when they surrender themselves to the unlimited, democratic rule of the masses slowly lose their former position; for the outstanding achievements of individuals...are now rendered practically ineffective through the oppression of mere numbers.”

“Democracy is the canal through which bolshevism lets its poisons flow into the separate countries and lets work there long enough for these infections to lead to a crippling of intelligence and of the force of resistance.”

Thanks for your comments. This question is especially insightful.

But what were CNN pundits saying about Comey back in October?

I had a fried of mine just post the same thing on Facebook. I asked him if Democracy died when Clinton did the same thing or, using his horrific Nixonian example, did democracy die when Nixon fired Archibald Cox.

Are people really that stuck on stupid.

Democracy almost died when the Democratic Primary was fixed and the Media supported Hillary. But Democracy lived when Trump on 1/20/17. 👍
