no, but the republic is hanging by a thread
If the Republic is gone, democracy means nothing but mob rule.
Think National Socialism gone global. The Nazi’s concluded that their predecessors didn’t get it wrong, they merely did not have a big enough vision. And they acted before they had a critical mass. But the events that took place under the third Reich worked fine as a small scale development environment.
Perhaps if we had a common definition of “Democracy”, then we could clearly see what is causing the “problem”.
The right understands that our constitution set up a representative democracy (Constitutional Republic). This means that our government is elected by citizens. Here, citizens vote for their government officials. These officials represent the citizens' ideas and concerns in government. This was supposed to deal with the inevitable problem of personal greed and illiteracy in a general population.
The left insists that we have a Direct Democracy which in effect is mob rule, two wolfs and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner. Their inserting of the 17th amendment making the Senate chosen by popular vote, the allowing of a no-term-limit congress caused that inevitable problem of personal greed and illiteracy to overwhelm the government. Consequently we get elected officials who are not the brightest bulbs, who are greedy, immoral, and have no problem lying to protect their own power.
So of course the left wants to destroy the “Democracy” as defined by the right. And the right wants to destroy the “Democracy” as defined by the left.
The Democrats want to:
- Unconstitutionally federalize election rules (the elections clause of the constitution makes clear that state legislatures are to make election laws)
- abolish the electoral college
- pack the supreme court
- abolish the Senate filibuster
- add 2 new states for purely partisan reasons
- pass election laws that make fraud vastly easier
- abolish state sovereignty altogether and change the country from a republic to a direct democracy
- bar their opponents from elective office
- have the military mutiny if they don’t like election outcomes
- use federal agencies to spy on and jail political opponents
But its the Republicans who are the threat to democracy???
Let’s hope that democracy is under siege, because it is a form of government that allows outside forces to hire lobbyists to bribe and buy off our elected representatives so that global banks can control our destiny.
A monarchy is typically despised by Communism because a benign ruler can not be as easily compromised and controlled.
There are 19 members of Biden’s cabinet all with either dual citizenship in the same country or their American parents hold dual citizenship in that same country, thus allowing us to be controlled by that country. Would we allow 19 Chinese, Germans, or Russians to run our country? Why do we allow 19 members of this unnamed country to run our country for their benefit, not theirs? Why do we allow their big pharmaceutical company to sell drugs here?
Get rid of democracy.
