‘Their’ Democracy: Tyranny Comes to the US
American Thinker ^ | 19 Jan, 2024 | Nancy Van Deest

Posted on 01/19/2024 5:14:29 AM PST by MtnClimber

Unscrupulous politicians and bureaucrats are intentionally destroying our nation’s heritage to obtain greater power, control, and wealth.

Spanning across generations, Americans have done extraordinary things during uncertain times. My father’s genealogy is rich with such memoirs. My great (x6) grandfather was a colonel in the Berkshire Milita during the Revolutionary War. My great (x5) grandmother was part of the runaway scrape when the Alamo fell. During the Civil War, my great, great grandfather fought for the Union in the Ohio Infantry, 81st Regiment. My grandfather’s long service in the Army included WWII, and my father completed over 20 years in the Army. Perhaps the remnants of their DNA combined with growing up on military bases contributed to my deep commitment to our Constitution, our heritage, and the people who sacrificed so much.

Consequently, I am angered that Americans are being conditioned to loathe our shared history and the very people who made our modern country possible. Even our founding documents have been labeled potentially harmful. Make no mistake: these actions are happening because of unscrupulous politicians, bureaucrats, and others who are intentionally destroying our nation’s heritage to obtain greater power, control, and wealth.

In place of the constitutional republic gifted to us by our founders, these charlatans promote “their” democracy. Even though our founders rejected direct democracy because it leads to tyranny through mob rule, our elites have managed to convince Americans otherwise. As a result, in pursuit of their democracy, our political class has amassed unsustainable national debt and created an enormous welfare state. While declaring unity, our democracy cheerleaders encourage racial animosity. One way is by falsely claiming white supremacy as our country’s greatest threat. To combat their perceived scourge of heritage America, they forced DIE and other race-based initiatives. They supported violent aggression by BLM and ANTIFA

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner.

It’s a deep abyss and there are lots of rocks to bounce off of on the way down.

To these people, “Democracy” doesn’t mean what the definition was in a civics textbook in 1965. It basically means sodomy everywhere and at all times. They are going to do it in your face. Always were going to.

Classical liberals like to believe that the difference between the classical liberal period of Burke, the founding fathers of the US, etc. and now is that back then they had a republic but now we have something more like direct democracy.

The real difference is back then only propertied males, i.e. those with skin in the game, voted for their representatives.

This is why the US is ultimately doomed as there is no way we can go back and limit the vote to those who would choose wise leaders and policies

Sad to say perhaps, but that's human nature.

When there's an economic advantage from taking a certain action, even when that action is downright evil, some people will justify it to themselves and jump in with both feet.

In all the years I have watched politics, the word “democracy” rarely was uttered by Democrats. In the past three years, it’s their war cry.

And “their democracy” isn’t even that. The WEFtards have declared that the vote should be eliminated and replaced by plutocrats using AI should run things.

When leftists say “democracy”, think “lynch-mob”.

The claim of “democracy” ending if they are elected needs to be stomped down.

Their claim is Dem-Ocracy. Leftist tyranny.

Our Constitutional Republic is an horrific, dire threat to “their democracy”.

From the linked article:
“Furthermore, in violation of the 13th Amendment, the Biden administration’s open border policies have facilitated modern-day slavery, where approximately 60% of unaccompanied children crossing our border are exploited by cartels and used in child pornography, drug-trafficking, and worse.”

Additionally, the furtherance of the welfare state imposes slavery on those working, forcing them to pay for the lifestyle of those who will not work (as opposed to those either physically or mentally able), and providing just enough benefits to those in the system to keep them in thrall to the system that penalizes individual effort. It’s a government-run plantation – systematic slavery.

It’s a question we resolved in 1865.
