U.S. — A day long feared by people across America and around the world finally became a reality today, with Democracy falling into rubble after a man who received the most votes took the oath of office to become president.
Weeping could be heard echoing throughout the streets of every American city this morning as citizens of the United States were confronted with the terrifying truth that democracy had been destroyed by having the man who everyone voted for take office.
"This is indeed a dark day," said historian and professor Clifford Martin. "The American experiment has survived for nearly 250 years, continuing the tradition started by the ancient Greeks who created the concept of democracy… but today we have seen its end. The man who won more votes than anyone else has been sworn in as president, and that's just not how democracy works."
Experts predicted that the country may never be the same, as having the man people wanted to be president actually win the election was an unexpected assault on American democracy. "We're not used to this," constitutional scholar Owen Gaffney said. "The United States can't survive when it's simply left to the people voting to choose their leaders. Democracy has now died. Thanks a lot, voters."
Reports quickly emerged that lawmakers were hard at work putting measures into place to revive democracy by keeping overwhelmingly popular candidates from winning elections ever again.
At publishing time, memorial services for democracy were being planned as Democrats urged all Americans to flee the country in search of refuge in more oppressive, totalitarian countries.

Democracy means the “experts”, “institutions” and “authorities” come to a consensus and the voters rubber stamp said consensus.
Oh, the horror….the horror!
LOL
Democracy is doing just fine. It’s Our Democracy™ that is taking a beating.
I’m happy to see Democracy fall for we are a Republic, not a Democracy.
I recognize your reasonable desire to correctly identify Democracy (majority vote by voters not under duress or manipulation) as opposed to Our Democracy™, Prog Marxist Democrat one party absolute control of Elections and Ballots.
Unfortunately, "Democracy" is ALWAYS Mob Rule that deteriorates to "Our Democracy™ " in a matter of months.
That is the reason for the Constitutional Representative Republic, and why one should ALWAYS fire on the Mob.
You are correct.
Look at all the Communist countries who had “Democratic” in their names like:
German Democratic Republic
Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea
Democratic Kampuchea (Pol Pot)
Yes, America did Nazi that coming.
Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea
Yes, I remember the Communists Democratically allied with American "Democrats" were actively involved with Union Communist Bombings of Wall Street and American newspapers from 1900 to 1955.
They disappeared into the woodwork when the Korean Communists exposed their character in Korea.
Democratic Kampuchea (Pol Pot).
Yes, where Communist Death Camp Administrators Democratically voted on which Cambodian Children, Women and Men were forced to work without food or medical care to assure the success of Democracy, while Pol Pot was Democratically elected to live in luxury.
And the Bee thought they’d have nothing to write satire over once Trump took office.
