For the left, ‘democracy’ is no longer just a euphemism for ‘policies I want,’ it’s a belief in a system that exists outside the Constitution.
Those who seek to destroy or delegitimize the Supreme Court for upholding the Constitution are no better than those who desire to overturn or delegitimize presidential elections. In fact, they probably pose a greater long-term threat to American “democracy.”
Now, if you believe the above contention is hyperbole, consider that many leftists aren’t merely advocating for court-packing or nullification of the Dobbs decision; they justify those attacks with a litany of other grievances about the constitutional order.
Even as the Supreme Court relinquished its power, and threw the abortion issue–unmentioned anywhere in the Constitution–back to the voters, a horde of j-school graduates and politicians, either ignorant of basic civics or contemptuous of them, descended with panic-stricken warnings about the demise of “democracy.” Almost none of their objections were grounded in any sort of legal arguments about the alleged constitutionality of terminating unwanted human beings. Instead, their case centered around the specious idea that the court had undermined the will of voters by no longer dictating abortion policy by judicial fiat.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who, at this point, sounds virtually indistinguishable from Senate leadership or the authoritarians writing at The Washington Post, points out that seven of the nine justices on the court “were appointed by a party that hasn’t won a popular vote more than once in 30 years,” that one of their seats “was stolen,” and that “several lied to Congress to secure their appointment…”
None of those contentions are true. Every single justice on the court, including the ones Democrats preemptively smeared as deviants to undermine the legitimacy of the court, was nominated using the prescribed constitutional method that is used by every

It is White Supremacists that are the main threat to Democracy.
Meanwhile...
You’re just now figuring this out?!
I’ve been saying this for 10+ years!
Author starts out with a a lie in the 2nd sentence.
Not interested.
All those events happened as a result of the reign of the illegal Kenyan.
Radical perverted authoritarianism.
Yep, all roads lead back to Usurpation Day.

Black on black crime in the major cities, out of control crime in LA to the general public, tainted DAs, the list goes on.
Well! Someone is waking up to the obvious - for over 30 years!
That was the inflection point where the dims knew they could use their full power of the government against their political opponents. The republicans wouldn’t fight back out of fear of being accused of being racist and their media would never call out any dimrat for committing federal crimes.
Democrats have become like the Terminator. To quote Kyle Reese, “It Can’t Be Bargained With. It Can’t Be Reasoned With... And It Absolutely Will Not Stop, Ever... Until You Are Dead!”

^THIS^
And I might add that “THIS” was done by collaboration of both wings of the UniParty, not just the communist DNC. Both wings were, and are, guilty of treason for “THIS”....and were never, to this date, ever held accountable for it.
Democrats stopped being democrats decades ago. We just weren’t quite aware of it yet. They have been Stalinist Marxists on the down low for at least 30 years. The mainstream dem voters weren’t even aware of it but they are waking up to it now. Some choose Marxism and other choose the Independent or Republican party. Notice how Pelosi, Cheney, Schumer, AOC, Waters, et al don’t even try to hide their far left extremist position any longer. They feel 100% safe from prosecution and punishment for their treason. The problem is systemic throughout the US government.
We are at a tipping point in American history. I hope it goes our way but “they” have a lot of power and the entire Davos/Bilderberg/WEF groups working for them.
It could end up being a case of David and Goliath with us being David until we have a huge groundswell of support worldwide to even things up. The government is supposed to be afraid of the people when it’s functioning properly. Today it’s the opposite so we have a huge immediate problem on that front alone.
Yeah, I knew this when I was 9 years old in West Germany waiting for the Group of Soviet Forces Germany to overrun us, and the Dems back home were trying to slash the military budget.
I knew this 40 years ago - nice to see others finally figuring it out.
