Our Democracy™

They mean it like The German “Democratic” Republic, or the “Democratic” Peoples Republic of Korea.
Its like the democrat party calling itself the democratic party when there is nothing democratic about it.
Redefining Democracy: From Liberty to Control
Historically, democracy meant government by consent, rooted in individual rights, free expression, and constitutional limits. This tradition—shaped by thinkers like John Locke, James Madison, and Alexis de Tocqueville—emphasized liberty, not state control.
But Group A has begun to shift the meaning. In their rhetoric, “democracy” now implies:
• Economic equality enforced by the state
• Majoritarian rule unconstrained by constitutional checks
• Government as provider of outcomes, not protector of rights
This redefinition aligns more closely with collectivist systems than with classical liberal democracy. It echoes the logic of Rousseau’s “general will”, where dissent becomes illegitimate if it opposes the collective vision.

They hate their actual name ever since they figured out it ends with “rat”.
What they mean by “Our Democracy” is that they are in power, with no accountability.
“It’s getting to the point where Mr. Trump might have to go medieval on the whole lot of them, declare the Insurrection Act, and move the action into military courts. Then maybe we’ll see who can handle the truth.”
Trump is already asking the scatterbrained punk if he feels lucky.
They say that they represent the “masses” (whatever that means)
For which they deserve outsized rewards, everybody else being "equal."
To a progressive, Democracy means “Rule by the Democrats”.
That is rule by the elites who control the masses of plebians
Hilary is elite
It’s a Big Club, and you ain’t in it.
Bkmk
Their so-called communist “democracy” is an immediate, dire threat to our Constitutional Republic....BIG TIME.
Democracy is the code word for communism.
A lynch mob is democracy in action...
If you listen to fools, the mob rules.
But how long is this going to be dangled in front of the citizenry like a carrot on a stick?
