we are on the verge of losing our Democracy.

FYI :
We do not have a Democracy! We have a Constitutional Republic. Only Democrats have a Democracy, aka mob rule.
“We do not have a Democracy!”
I know that and so does the speaker. My guess is he used the word “democracy “ when he meant freedom.
We have a Constitutional Republic.

Yep. I can’t begin to imagine how many times I have had to make that statement in conversations with family and friends. Most of them reply, “What’s that?” or “Where did you hear that?”
Idiots.
We have a Constitutional Republic.
***We LOST our constitutional republic in 2008 when SCOTUS refused to do their job and determine the constitutional requirements of Natural Born Citizen, which definition had been held for more than 200 years as ‘born on US soil to 2 US citizen parents’. When SCOTUS told the entire country that NONE of us had standing in Berg vs. Obama, that was the official changing of this nation into an oligarchy. It is very similar to the historically accepted threshold when Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon river and started the Roman civil war, thus ending the Roman republic and starting the Roman Empire.
The reason why SCOTUS is given lifetime appointment is so they can be protected from the political ramifications of their decisions, but they regularly BASE their decisions on political ramifications. In particular, they have inserted their voice where it was clearly states’ rights issues such as abortion but here they REFUSED to do their job when it was obviously theirs to do.
As always, mob rule becomes 'monarch rule' the moment power is consolidated.
Ask Xi Jinping.
