We’ve Been an Experiment That Is About to End

We Are Doomed.

They sure did, and the numerous slaves didn’t get a vote, but it still was considered to be darned close to a pure democracy,. It works better on a small scale.

You didn’t ask a relevant question.

We are NOT a democracy.

The United States is a representative republic, rule of law, not by the masses.

This little 10 minute video will help clear up some of your confusion. It exactly describes what’s going on and where we are now.

You're smoking your socks if you think they wanted "Democracy". Democrats don't even want Democracy. They say they do, that's just a power grab. When the usual suspects say "Our Democracy" just substitute "Our illegitimate criminal party enterprise" and it will make more sense. Maybe if and when they import enough foreigners. California used to be a pretty rock solid Republican state. However - as a thought exercise - even if America were a Democracy - importing illegal aliens, foreign mationals, whatever - importing more _voters_ to alter the outcome of elections is still an especially egregious and a treasonous act.

[Mr. Blond]

Democracy is terrible.

[jonrick46]

The truth is, we are a republic, not a democracy.

[Lazamataz]

Rome, for a while. Athens, for a while.

It’s rare but it happens.

Take a step back and look at the big picture: There is no such thing as a successful civilization. If there was, we’d all be Corinthians or Romans. All civilizations have a beginning, middle and end. Throw a ball in the air and expect it not to land. Stop putting your faith/energy in man made civilizations.

Brilliant answer.

Encouraging, too. Thanks.

God's kingdom is forever.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

No even close.

I don’t think I’ll ever get over Macho Grande’.

None, because true democracy is mob rule. Before we became a kleptocracy we were a republic.

Respectfully, it’s lieu.

[Lazamataz]

I thought it was Lou.

[joma89]

Pure democracy is as totalitarian and evil as a small oligarghy. That is why the founding fathers created a Constitutional Republic.

Coming Laz, you know her bumps too big!

[.44 Special]

Chizzlefritz! Bum! I hate this spellchecker.

[.44 Special]

One more time;
C’mon Laz! You know her bum’s too big.

We need to get control of media and education, somehow, and push the narrative that democracy leads to our demise. Republican governance insures our future.

We Are Doomed.

YOU may be doomed. I am not. I'm a PATRIOT. I will stand, fight, and die on my feet if I have to before I EVER succumb to this tyranny and die on my knees.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR COUNTRY.

[silent majority rising]

We are not a true democracy. We are a Representative Republic.

You're smoking your socks if you think they wanted "Democracy".

My reply was part of a discussion of democracy in history. (see post #3) The ancient Athenians did, for a period, explicitly want democracy.
