The tyrannical policies of the last two years have been a smashing success.
It has become commonplace to hear Dementia Joe and his communist cohorts divide the world between "democratic nations" and "authoritarian regimes." In his recent prime-time address declaring war on MAGA Americans, Pretend President Biden extolled "democracy" thirty-one times. It seems as if the more Biden assumes the role of a dictator, the more inclined he is to proclaim himself democracy's "savior." This kind of Napoleon complex is hardly unusual with Marxists. Socialist regimes always arrive under the pretense of protecting the people, yet, as Lord Acton persistently warned, socialism remains "the worst enemy freedom has ever had to encounter."
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said explicitly this last week that not agreeing with the majority "is an extreme way of thinking," while simultaneously accusing Trump-supporters of representing an "extremist threat to our democracy." Anyone who doubts that majorities can be just as vicious as brutal dictators need only survey the aftermath of a torch and pitchfork mob. Mob rule is democracy at its simplest and no friend to human liberty. It is worth noting that after the elections of both President Donald Trump in 2016 and Prime Minister Boris Johnson in 2019, socialists, Antifa domestic terrorists, anti-Brexiteers, and other leftists took to the streets in huge mobs, clashing with police and chanting, "This is what democracy looks like." Protest mobs have no illusions about what democracy means.
The antipode of authoritarianism is not democracy, but rather inviolable individual rights. America's Founding Fathers, who were at the forefront of the Enlightenment's revolutionary advance toward the protection of human liberty, fully grasped this distinction. It is why the U.S. Constitution, as short as it is, doesn't just say, "Whoever gets the most popular votes shall decide the law."

Absolutely and it's especially worse because Jao Bai-din is a moron to begin with. There's audio and video records of his idiocy going back through decades of his political career.
Cognitive decline is one thing; it's far worse when starting from a such a low IQ.
‘The antipode of authoritarianism is not democracy, but rather inviolable individual rights.’
except that there are no such things as inviolable rights; there is no freedom granted to anyone that cannot, in the space of a minute, be taken away by the grantor...
rights exist for us only insofar as someone is willing to enforce them against their removal...
‘Sadly, there were many more here cheering for the tyranny, and vilifying anyone who, unlike them, had the sense to see what was happening...’
in particular, there was one who bragged about ratting out his neighbors who were only seeking a bit of respite from the face diapers.
it is his cognitive decline
Agree 100%. The problem is that no one knows when and if
that will set in on them. That is why I’d like a max age to
begin the Presidency. JMO and others will vary.
He was ‘Din! Din! Din!
‘You limpin’ lump o’ brick-dust, Gunga Din!
‘Hi! Slippy hitherao
‘Water, get it! Panee lao,
‘You squidgy-nosed old idol, Gunga Din.’>>>>>>>>>>
Thats me fer sure!
Now in Injia’s sunny clime,
Where I used to spend my time
A-servin’ of ’Er Majesty when Dead,
Of all them blackfaced crew
The finest man I knew
Was our regimental Bard, Gunga Fred,
I finally saw what you did there. LOL.
NOt bad for a supposedly “White Supremacist!”
