This week, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton went on ABC's "The View" to warn that "if Trump wins the 2024 presidential election he will end our democracy. He will censor freedom of speech and try to put his political opponents in jail."
When reminded that President Biden's administration actively censored dissenting views on the covid pandemic and is currently trying to put former President Trump in jail, Clinton insisted that "these actions are necessary to defend our democracy from its most dangerous enemy. Freedom of speech doesn't give people the right to criticize the government's efforts to protect the health of the community. Nor does it give defeated candidates free rein to undermine the unity necessary for effective government control of the population."
The View's co-host Joy Behar suggested that "rather than risk allowing the chief enemy of our democracy to be elected we should lock him up now." The studio audience applauded this suggestion, but the cooler-headed Clinton advised patience, saying "the process for getting Trump behind bars is underway. He is facing trial in Florida for mishandling classified documents, in Georgia for trying to overturn the award of its 2020 electoral votes to President Biden, in Washington DC for inciting the January 6, 2021 insurrection, and in New York for fraudulently exaggerating the value of his properties to obtain loans. The odds that he will still be a free man in November of 2024 are rapidly dwindling."
In response, Trump observed that "when I won the 2016 election Hillary claimed that I stole it from her. She also mishandled classified information--including destroying emails and devices that had been subpoenaed. Afterward, she continued to malign me and work to undermine my efforts to govern. Yet at no time did I attempt to censor any media or prosecute her or any of my many other critics in the Democrat Party. It is Biden and the Democrats who are abusing their authority to stifle the freedom of the American people."
In related news, Biden touted Democrat victories in the recently completed off-year elections as "evidence that voters have sided with me and want the policies I have put in place to continue." Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre echoed her boss, saying "In Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, voters once again sided with President Biden's agenda. This bodes well for his reelection to a second term next year."

I hope he does end the democracy and return us to being a republic.
Everything Hillary harps about is being done by Biden.
When is your “democrazy” supposed to start?
SPJNK.
“Our democracy” has been a leftist code word or exactly what we want to end.
So do I.
Hopefully so, considering we are supposed to have a Constitutional Representative Republic.
Screw that Mob Rule crap.
Not that Hitlery would understand this, but we are a constitutional republic, not a democracy!
Democrats: “Elections are a threat to democracy.”
Whatever evil the Marxists accuse their adversaries of planning or doing, is what the Marxists are themselves actually doing.
Yes, a very interesting corruption of the language. “Our Democracy” has nothing to do with democracy or our Republican form of governance..
We certainly hope & pray that he ends this democracy (mobocracy)...
A dark & permanent tyranny envelopes us just as the Founding Fathers warned us against...
In the highly unlikely event that Trump is re-elected next November, here's what's going to happen.
First, the riots in Washington DC will make Jan. 6 look like a frat party. The city will burn.
Second, multiple lawsuits will immediately be filed in every state that Trump won.
Third, there will be efforts to push faithless electors at the Electoral College the following December.
Finally, Kamala Harris will be involved in disrupting the certification process prior to Inauguration In January.
In short, the Democrats will do everything times ten that they accused Trump of doing during the last election.
Hello kettle! Returning to the “republic” is going be awesome.
Listened to Rachael Maddow on CSpan2 about her book ,” Prequel: An American Fight Against Fascism.”.
Amazon-#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Rachel Maddow traces the fight to preserve American democracy back to World War II, when a handful of committed public servants and brave private citizens thwarted far-right plotters trying to steer our nation toward an alliance with the Nazis.
Talk about cognitive dissonance!
These folks really believe Trump is the new Hitler.
Once again, the US is not now, nor ever was a democracy. We are a constitutional representative republic.
The left WANTS it to be a democracy so they can institute mob rule and take away the rights of the minority.
Increasingly this is no longer the case. Mob rule is taking over our political process. Hence the growing use of ballot initiatives at the state level.
Anyways, have you ever voted for a senator? How about a governor? Congratulations! You participated in a democracy!
And if Trump again wins the presidency but loses the meaningless "popular vote" (because California floods the nation with millions of harvested Democrat votes) there will be calls for faithless electors to "honor the will of the people!"
Too bad too few people remember or understand the words in the Pledge of Allegiance to out Flag.
Even The Stupid Party refers to our, “democracy.”
Words have meaning and even most of the $200,000 / year grifter politicians are dumber than Kamala Harris.
“does end the democracy and return us to being a republic.”
Exactly, where we end “democracy as we have come to know “, which is to say, being ruled by a bunch of elites pretending to be elected by a majority.
Killing that version of democracy is not a bad thing.
