At 250, Morning Joe’s Haass Warns: America’s Democracy May Not Survive Next 5-10 Years!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

The end is nigh!

Longtime Morning Joe regular Richard Haass has traditionally been one of the show's more measured voices. But, along with others [looking at you, Willie Geist], his tone has, in recent times, become more strident.

On Thursday's show, Haass "celebrated" our country's 250th by telling people they shouldn't be hopeful—"sanguine," as he put it—about its future. Claiming that our democracy "is not in great shape," Haass warned that we might not have a democracy left to celebrate in only five or ten years.

Question for Haass: You predict American democracy could end in as little as five years. Trump will be long gone from the White House by then. So, who amongst the leading presidential contenders do you see declaring martial law, canceling elections, and declaring herself President for Life?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Head of the CFR for 20 years and part of the Bush crowd. So predictable are these globalists!

Herself? I’m too lazy to click on the link. Plus it’s against Free Republic tradition.
So I’ll just take a few guesses.

Michelle Obama
Kamala Harris
Hillary Clinton
Rosie O’Donnell

I’m pretty sure one of those is right.

I have to agree. If Dems follow through on their plans to open the border, add states and pack the Supreme Court it’s game over man.

Democracy died in 2020…..most crooked election is our history…. Bar none. Trump has returned to fix it again. His own party stifles him.

As I see it, not that.

But a good chance of society falling apart, eventually followed by someone restoring order.

Well it was fun while it lasted. Rung up a $40 trillion party tab along the way. I think Ted Kennedy drank most of it.

Indeed.

No, the American Republic will be here long after Dick is worm's meat.

The Democrat's "Democracy" will be long dead...but never forgotten.

America was born of the desire for freedom, self-determinism, and protection of the rights of each individual. ‘Democracy’, conceptually, can lead to the destruction of individuality and self-determinism. ‘Tyranny of the majority’ is a concerning possibility in pure democracies. That’s why our founders gave us a republic. We have to work harder to keep it.
