What does an America without democracy look like? We’re about to find out.

Whatever you think 2025 will bring, you’re most likely wrong.

If Donald Trump’s first term taught us anything, it was that even preparedness has its limits. Trump’s knack for stoking high-level uncertainty keeps his opponents off-balance while forcing the media into a constant state of catch-up. That puts the president-elect in a uniquely powerful position, even before considering his governing trifecta.

I know from a week ago.

There was a headline by a Canadian newspaper today saying that Americans voting for Trump is the moral decline of America and it was behind a paywall.

America’s moral decline gave us Trump 2.0. Brace for impact

Because unless the Left is in control forcing you to do things you don’t want to do, it’s not “democracy.”

People voting is not their definition of Democracy.

“Trump’s nine long years of decontextualized rants have played a leading role in destroying public trust in ideas and institutions most Americans once considered fundamental: Fact-based news. Democracy. Free and fair elections.”

In other words: Our lies are not working anymore. We cannot control the narrative, the people, and most of the government the way we desire.

The “experts” come to a consensus then voters rubber stamp their decision.

Anything else is not “democracy”.

Oligarchic Rule by Globalists who hate America and want voters to eff off is what “Our Democracy” is all about.

What does journalism without intelligence look like?
We have already found out.
Shove it, journalists. Shove it often, deep and painfully.

even before considering his governing trifecta.

Governing trifecta? Is that winning the House, winning the Senate and winning the Presidency? Oh how will Our Democracy™ survive the will of the people?

Yep. The left has redefined “democracy,” like everything else. Now it means “Us-ocracy.”

The USA is not a democracy, we a Democratic Republic.
The hill as usual prints Schiff.
If we were a Democracy I could see us voting for a law requiring all registered Democrats to drink a deadly dose of Hemlock.
