Direct Democracy, two Wolves and one Sheep deciding what’s for Dinner.
I notice that when the elites see the vast majority of Americans are actively opposing them, we are solemnly warned about democracy. I see a crowd of 100 sheep and 3 wolves. The wolves (with big teeth) make all the decisions about where to graze, how to live, and pretend to listen to the sheep. But when the sheep look for new leaders, the pompous wolves remind them that their voice must never be listened to or it will be a democracy.
They even give hints that a change might be met with wolf violence against the sheep to restore order.
Oligarchs love the other sheep wolf and dinner story.
For that to be instructive here, our “elites” need to respect the Republic. They don’t.
