Have you noticed when democrats say ‘our democracy’ they sound like Gollum saying 'my precious'? Yes, of the ring of power anology holds. That's how they feel - it's never been a system of government with democrats it's been a system of graft for their chosen ones... money money money... power power power.
Their use of it is just like the way they repeat the ‘talking points of the week’. You watch the news, and every idiot news caster is using the same phrases to discuss a topic.
They really do think we’re stupid.
