Democracies give power to the people — does anyone hold the people responsible for this power?

Who would be this "anyone" ?

Peaceful coexistence with these people is not possible. We need to stop pretending that it is.

Democracy doesn’t “give” power to anyone. The right of people to control their own lives comes from God, not government. The right to control government ALWAYS rests in the hands of the governed.

Ask Charles I of England ir Louis XVI of France, among countless other so-called leaders who violated the social compact.

“Today, defending our democracy begins with taking responsibility for votes cast at the ballot box each year.”

No. Today, defending democracy is having a fair media that provides oversight on behalf of the people. All people. The media is setting the narrative and now they are blaming the people? If that is the case, maybe we need to change the media.
