How many young people know that the US is a Republic? Also, search the internet on Ben Franklin quotes on democracies, there’s a LOT of “Did he REALLY say that?” We can’t defend being a Republic (as opposed to being a mob rule democracy) if most have no idea what that is or whether we are a Republic. The push to get rid of the Electoral College is a prime example of losing our Republic.
“People are too wedded to their lifestyles, safety, and sense of powerlessness to do anything other than vote and then shrug in the face of stolen elections and creeping tyranny.”
The inertia of complacency ends when one’s existence is threatened. Uncivilized barbarians defeated the disciplined mighty Roman legions. The Warsaw ghetto revolted against German troops despite the futility of the resistance. The Viet Cong and Taliban resisted, fought and outlasted the “invincible” US military. When people are starving, or they see the tyranny of the state about to snuff out their lives, they will take whatever risk is necessary to have a slender chance at survival.
add new description from nanner yesterday:
“trump and his toadies”
...clinging to my guns and my religion.
Democrats idea of democracy is Stalinism obey or die so far they have only gave a small sample of what they intend to do with their power they have now.
As goofy as Biden is just think what they will do if they their real leader in office.
They now have their lemmings on a sugar rush letting them believe they have control.
Lol..........

Every time I hear a leftist say “Our Democracy” ...
Better response:
“Two wolves and a sheep voting on lunch is Democracy.
So’s gang rape”.
“Democracy” means the freedom to do like they do, or else.
People like Biden just don’t seem able to be reasoned with. If they could be, think of the fewer problems we would have. When Biden talks about Democracy, I even wonder if he knows what this is, since we are technically a Constitutional Republic & I wonder if he really understands what that is. If he tried to understand some of this, that would be tacit to admitting he has been wrong. Don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen. We all make mistakes, but a few might own up to making them.
And that time does seem to have come.
Anyone who quibbles about all out support of Trump is an accomplice.
This is the last chance for our Republic.
Democracy means an emotional, agitated mob gathering to take away all rights and protections of a minority (not racial but the true word for not in the majority).
