SUMMARY: The rule of law vs the rule of men
Summary: These United States have become like a married couple who have discovered that they have irreconcilable differences.
Why do you think they keep talking about "democracy"?
Imagine there is no constitution. You are allowed to own firearms. A school shooting takes place and in the heat of emotion, but by popular vote, the weapon used is banned and ordered to be confiscated.
That is democracy
Imagine a fire hits a refinery. With capacity constrained, the price of fuel spikes. By simple popular vote, the people lower the price at the pump. Fuel must be sold at a loss until the supply is depleted.
That is democracy.
Imagine an allegation is made that the POTUS colluded with Russia. By a simple vote, they are removed from office without a trial, just from media reports.
That is democracy
Under democracy, the nation would have no stability. It would be jerked left and right to whatever a simple majority feels in the moment.
Business law, criminal law, social norms would all be uncertain and a moving target. Some people would be in prison for a crime that was later repealed. Businesses would not know how to invest in case someone creates a scandal over them that eliminates their profit.
Everything we know would break down rapidly and the nation would be plunged into chaos.
Only a handful at the top would have stability and full control....which is what they want.
