This column uses the now popular construction of “democracy” and “populism” as antonyms.

Its really important to understand that what they mean by “democracy” and especially “Our Democracy™”refers not to individuals voting but to INSTITUTIONS set up to “safeguard democracy” by censorship, incarceration, and suppression of the truth in favor of lies.

Using this construction, people speaking freely and voting is a mortal threat to those institutions, and hence to “democracy”.

This column uses the now popular construction of “democracy” and “populism” as antonyms.

I came to a similar conclusion a while back:

Populists believe in limited government of, by and for the people.

The opposite of populism is elitism.

Elitists believe in unlimited government of, by and for an entitled, hereditary, autocratic political/bureaucratic class.

This was a theme in the Joe Rogan - Mike Benz podcast. It was very eye opening and explains an awful lot. I too had wondered for a while what the Dems really meant by “Our Democracy”.
