Salon Magazine: This Is ‘Democracy’s Last Thanksgiving’ If Trump Wins The 2024 Election, Americans Have A Difficult Time ‘Understanding Complex Information’
GATEWAYPUNDIT ^ | 11/25/2023 | alicia powe

Salon Magazine’s senior politics writer Chauncey Devega commemorated Thanksgiving with a fearmongering article devoted to hating Donald Trump and debasing Americans who intend to vote for the former president in 2024.

“Trump and his allies and acolytes are publicly planning to make him America’s first de facto dictator, which will mean the end of the country’s democracy,” Devega warns in an article titled ‘Democracy’s last Thanksgiving‘ published Thursday.

Trump is trouncing Biden in every rigged poll amid skyrocketing inflation, oil and gasoline prices shooting through the roof, manufacturing plants exploding on a regular basis, the Justice Department’s unprecedented prosecution of political speech as Americans continue to suffer from the fallout from the experimental Covid mandates, the government’s continuous allocation of billions of American tax dollars to Ukraine — to name a few of the Biden regime’s catastrophic blunders that pose an actual existential threat to the republic.

Biden’s incoherence, incompetence and incontinence have ushered in new dismal standards for the commander-in-chief.

Trump is resoundingly fairing better than Biden in polls and “ahead of Biden in key ‘battleground states'” because Americans are stupid, Devega contends.

“Journalists, pundits, the mainstream political class, other experts, and everyday Americans who follow politics and current events closely assume that the average member of the public does so as well. There are decades of research by political scientists and other experts, however, that shows this to not be true. In reality, most Americans are politically disengaged, lack a sophisticated understanding of political matters, are imagistic and emotional, have a difficult time retaining and understanding complex information, do not pay close attention to elections until they decide to vote, and more generally are civically illiterate,” the Salon author writes. “More than half of

When the Left says Democracy, they mean Wokedom. And Wokedom is just a Trojan horse for Marxism.

Actually, they may be right, but it is because the left just may go nuts like never before and expose their brown shirts.

Democracy is mobocracy. It works fine at the local level, though.

He’s right, but the dictatorship will come from the left after they depose Trump and institute martial law. All for our own good you understand.

They are shameless liars. They constantly lie to their own voter base, which, as a result, is comprised of all those most gullible - most inclined to believe the lies.

They lie to us too, of course, but the conversations end abruptly when we challenge their “facts”.

If Trump succeeded in ANYTHING during his presidency, it was to PROVE that our “democracy” has been nothing but an ILLUSION for decades.

Democracy only occurs when Democrats win the election.

Democracy dies with Democrats.

“Trump and his allies and acolytes are publicly planning to make him America’s first de facto dictator, which will mean the end of the country’s democracy,”

These chicken little panic fits tell me the left doesn’t think their election rigging, thru propaganda censorship and straight up vote fraud, is sufficient to win against Trump.

It might be the only thing they’re right about.

The peasants can’t tell the difference between true information and disinformation so we will have to cut their eyes out—for their own good!

Should Trump win in 2024, I for one will be as thankful as can be.

"...(we) read at a 6th grade level"

There are many who read at a 6th grade level, Salon got that much right, but that's thanks to your useless government woke communist education system installed 40 years ago.

Most of those however probably don't bother to vote

Because not having open borders, an economic dumpster fire, Democrat NeoNazis professing hate, perverting children in schools, rampant crime, while fighting 2 or 3 forever wars is completely unconscionable.

BTW - the Commies want to make everyone believe we have a Democracy where 51% of a fraudulent vote removes any freedom you have but in fact we have a Democratic REPUBLIC.
