The Greeks had a word for what has become of our Republic.
kakistocracy (kak·is·toc·ra·cy) n.
Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens.
YES-— it is a REAL word, and perfectly describes what America has become.
Resulting from the bad idea of granting everyone the “right to vote”....contrary to the warnings from John Adams.
...”Resulting from the bad idea of granting everyone the “right to vote”....”.
I’ll get flamed for saying so, but I agree with John Adams. I believe if an individual does not file a US 1040 tax return in the year prior and current election year, showing actual earned income, he or she should not be allowed to vote, period. I’m not sure college students should be allowed to vote, because their votes are primarily emotion-driven, through on-campus indoctrination by leftist academics and other adverse influences.
I think I might pronounce that cacastocracy. Government by caca.
