MSNBC’s Belcher: If Republicans Win 2022 ‘We’re Going to Lose Democracy’

MSNBC political analyst Cornell Belcher said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that if Republicans win majorities in the 2022 midterms, we would “lose democracy.”

Belcher said, “Whether or not Trump endorses these Republicans or, you know, he’s backing them is moot because they all propagate the big lie. The big lie now is larger than Trump. It’s bigger than Trump. The big lie right now really is about fear. It’s about being replaced. It’s about the other. It’s about losing power, and so record, regardless of whether they are backing or being endorsed by Trump or not, across the board, you have these Republican candidates who are propagating the lie, and the lie is basically rooted in this fear of losing their country.”

Not all Democrat talking points translate well from the Chinese.

If Republicans win in November, we’re going to lose “mob rule”.
Call it out for what it is.

No one seriously thinks assistant democrats in congress want to revive our Republic. WE have been terrible custodians of our birthright. We should have outlawed “progressivism” as unconstitutional decades ago. We were warned.

“Extremism in the Defense of Liberty is no vice “ We let schools become infested with Marxist teachers unions since the 1950’s. Reagan’s amnesty in the 1980’s. Remember when we allowed ourselves to believe homosexuals just wanted to be “accepted”? Abortion is not a political issue, it’s a human rights issue and it is Equal Protection Under the Law. We installed political dynasties with the Bush family. We allowed the installation of a president who is not eligible for that office and we allowed it not once but TWICE!

Oh, but now the election of republicans will get us back on track? Two wings of the same bird.

So is the left admitting their plan to convert us from a republic to a democracy has been accomplished? If so then a return of Republicans will push us back to a little ‘r’ republic? Do I have this right?

[Southnsoul]

The left said the same thing if Donald Trump were elected in 2016.

They have nothing and spew nothing.

[Chgogal]

The Red Tsunami is coming!

[MachIV]

Well said.

“...MSNBC political analyst Cornell Belcher...”

Don’t you idiots know the difference in a “democracy” and a “representative republic”????????????????????

[SkyDancer]

Then I guess we have to change some words in the Pledge of Allegiance.

[lucky american]

Do I have this right?

I do believe they think we’re a mob rule, little “d”, democracy and they want to keep it that way.

[JBW1949]

Exactly...Although I sometimes call us a “representative republic”....

[Jim Noble]

Stay frosty, brother.

So: The 17th Amendment to the Constitution requires Senators to be elected by a direct vote of those she or he will represent. Election winners are decided by the plurality rule. That is, the person who receives the highest number of votes wins. In some states, this may not necessarily be a majority of the votes.

I've become convinced over time that the word democracy
is a trope, a story device, and nothing more to Dems.
They bandy the word Republic about when needed and then
it's right back to using democracy as the norm.

Though you are both right it seems that it's about more
than our form of government this time.

...the lie is basically rooted in this fear of losing their country.”

Losing their country to degeneracy and perversion?
Losing their country to Socialism/Marxism?
Losing their country to illegal alien invaders?
Losing their country to duplicitous politicians?
I'd go on but it's already monotonous.

It isn't a fear, it's a realization.
People speaking out at school board meetings aren't in fear.
Their response was usually anger. Anger at being deceived.

its only a democracy if democrats are in control

anything else is tyranny

when do we start calling them “the party”?

[ameribbean expat]

“The big lie right now really is about fear. It’s about being replaced. It’s about the other. It’s about losing power”

Good old libtards. Always let you know what they’re afraid of by attributing their irrationalities to their opponents.

[Gaffer]

Belcher is Don King wannabe..... he’s there with Nicole to provide ‘crackpot color commentary.’

[AndyJackson]

Democracy as in the German Democratic Republic, or the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea - the leftist communists are losing that kind of democracy where there is no need to vote because the fearless leader already has the people’s best interests at heart - you know, like Uncle Joe - our Joe not their Joe.

[joma89]

I hope the person quoted ia right.

[philman_36]

If we want the Republic back we have to repeal the 17th and return the selection of senators to the state legislatures.

Luckily some youngsters get that. It's not lost yet.

The 17th Amendment: A Detrimental Departure From The Constitution (Institute for Youth in Policy)
Reilly McGrath, 16 years old when written.

Fundamentally, the 17th amendment destroyed federalism in the United States. It removed power checks the many states held over the federal government. Additionally, it failed in returning power to the people as power has been concentrated in the federal government to create the exact tyrannical giant our founding fathers fought so hard against. The best solution to reigning in the federal government is to repeal the 17th amendment and restore power back to the many states.

Keep hope alive!
