I would tell this person that we didn’t come within a whisker of loosing our democracy, we actually lost our Republic. It’s gone. While I am not sure the governmental system we now live under, I am certain that it is no longer a Constitutional Republic. I would also tell them that a Democracy is two wolves and a sheep together asking what’s for dinner.
Someone will probably ponder my question. What Governmental system do we live under? I think it most closely resembles the final years of the German Republic, and the Antifa (Soros Socialist) and Nazi Fascists (Corporate Tech and media) banning together to destroy the Republic. The edge right now goes to Fascism. Perhaps you could make a good case for calling it a idiotocracy.
Everybody in the media and in Washington is elite. If by "elitist" you mean that she favors rule by the elite, that's probably true.
I don't think she was faking being a conservative all those years. The meaning of conservatism changed over the years, and her clique didn't keep up.
Why she's so against Trump and so starry-eyed about Biden I don't know. Probably everybody she associates with is the same way.
It's not now nor has ever been a 'democracy'. Totally clueless about how close we are currently to losing our nation.
She was also proud of her vote for Obama.
And there you have Conservatism Incorporated in a nutshell.
Neo-Con garbage.
Poor Mona. It is sad to watch someone become old and demented.
Another NE GOPe moron. She’s always been a squishy lightweight.
One has to wonder if she ever really held the positions she claimed to have on CNN shows like the Capitol Gang.
I remember when a very young Mona Charen had her first cover story article for National Review called THE FEMININE MISTAKE which attacked trendy feminism such as the still-read FEMININE MYSTIQUE by Betty Friedan. She seemed like a good young conservative.
Later she seemed like a prude middle-aged Jewish mother who complained bitterly about seeing a topless sunbather with her children present. Okay, but there should be more important things to worry about than French Coast fashions intruding here.
This later defense of Biden is absolutely nuts. She has gone off the deep end. There is no way anyone to the right of Trotsky could possibly stomach Biden on any category of issues. Mona needs to be tarred and feathered.
She is one of the elitists that Trump regularly called out and ridiculed.
Mona Charen is the perfect example of National Review’s ideal “conservative”.
You can’t fix stupid....
What a cying lunt.
“It’s because we just came within a whisker of losing our democracy...”
Well thank God for the most massive election fraud in the US, perpetrated by the DemComs who “put together the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics” (quote from her communist hero, Quid Pro Creepy Joe)...
...to save democracy, right you traitorous POS?
