OUR DEMOCRACY™️
Powerline ^ | 10 eb 2024 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 02/11/2024 6:38:08 AM PST by Rummyfan

We live in a corrupt environment in which, increasingly, words are used to signify the opposite of their actual meaning. Thus, Democrats often use the word “democracy” to mean its precise opposite. This is a fine example:

Democratic Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold has denounced the Supreme Court as "not friendly to democracy" after the cold reception to Colorado's effort to block Trump from the ballot.
https://foxnews.com/media/colorado-sec-state-says-scotus-not-friendly-democracy-ahead-trump-ballot-ruling… That now includes apparently Justices Kagan and Jackson...

So “democracy” is when a state’s Supreme Court votes 4-3 to bar a leading presidential candidate from the ballot, and when that decision is overturned so that Coloradans can vote, it is an affront to democracy™️. “Democracy” meaning, in effect, whatever is good for the Democratic Party.

She is supported by George soros. We are not a democracy we are a Constitutional Republic.

The United States is a Republic. Damn “their democracy™!” Let it be ripped to shreds in front of their very eyes and scattered to the winds, never to be found again.

Democrats use of democracy is gratuitous. They’re dirty communists who should catch fire every time they say democracy gratuitously.

In California, Gruesom and ex gov Moonbeam have teamed up to stop a proposition from being put on the ballot that would require voter approval of any new taxes or tax increases.

Nothing says “democracy” like not allowing voters to vote.

I hate these bastards with a passion!

I’ve been pointing out for years now that “Our Democracy” is democrat code-speak for the kind of democratic socialism and communism they have been foisting upon us. You can’t fault them, they’ve been saying it right out loud. It’s our side that’s been too dumb to realize what they meant.

To a socialist, “democracy” means a system controlled by a socialist elite.

Thus Trump can never be “democratically” elected, no matter how many votes he gets.

I've known this for quite some time. See Tagline.
