“The only phrase I reacted to in this is the final “if we are to keep our democracy”. While it is an accurate phrase, ….”

Actually, it is not an accurate phrase. The United States of America has never been, is not, and should never be a “democracy.“ In a democracy the majority rules no matter what. 50% of the votes plus one can deny everyone else in the society of all of their rights, up to and including the right to live. No, we are not a democracy, we are a constitutional republic. There are long ago agreed to written limitations on the power of government, limitations that are virtually impossible to overturn while correctly, using the mechanisms set forth in our written constitution. While our representatives in government are democratically elected (well, in theory, if one side doesn’t massively cheat), we are not a democracy. 50% plus one can’t do what they want, and thank God for that.

I do, however, agree with your very serious reservations about the term, “our democracy,“ as used by Democrats and other radical leftists. It does, indeed, refer to a form of government (and corporate) rule over the people of this country that benefits them alone, but that’s not the form of government that everyone else knows exists in this country. Their use of that term is a dog whistle which betrays the fact that they are a bunch of tyrant wannabes.

I never said we were a democracy.

I said the phrase is a legitimate phrase. But the ComDems have twisted the meaning of the words to reflect something opposite of the original meaning.

That is the favorite trick of Satan, who’s children are those turning the world upside down.
