"Democracy™ is on the ballot,” went the incessant, mindless talking point, over and over, pushed by glassy-eyed Democrat Party surrogates this election cycle. And they’re going to recycle that talking point for as long as possible, because that’s all they’ve got.
The benefit of promoting Democracy™ as the central selling point to elect Democrats is that the term is amorphous. The vast majority of targeted voters who hear about the importance of Democracy™ won’t ever really think critically about what it entails or, more importantly, whether it actually exists.
Sad to say, it doesn’t. Democracy™ in America in 2022 is a childish fantasy. A pipe dream. A mirage.
That the United States is a thriving democracy, through persistent propaganda in public schools and corporate media, has become an unquestionable article of faith. But back in 2014, before Orange Hitler rained on the Democracy™ parade, when the neoliberal star-child Obama reigned supreme at the pinnacle of Democracy™, two political science researchers quietly destroyed the narrative.

What that means, in a nutshell, is that, unless you are a privileged member of the D.C.-centric governing class, your preferences about what should happen in your own country matter not at all, full stop. Elite interests are not your interests.

Trump was 100% over the target when he promised to #draintheswamp. Unfortunately, the swamp is murkier than it’s ever been, with no real hope of remedy in the immediate future.

A functioning oligarchy propped up by a brutal, corrupt internal security apparatus.
“Elite interests are not your interests.”
Billionaires aren’t going to save your free speech.
Billionaires aren’t going to drain the swamp.
The 75+ crowd is your representation.
What makes this assertion so interesting to me is that the United States of America was DESIGNED to be an oligarchy.
Go back and read the governing documents of this nation. There was no way in hell men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison would ever establish a government in which their interests could be subverted by the votes of their hired hands.

Americans are led to feel free through the exercise of meaningless choices. There are only two political parties. There is a reduction of the number of media companies. Banking has been reduced to only a handful of banks. Oil companies. These are important, and you’re given very little choice. … You know what your freedom of choice in America is? Paper or plastic. — George Carlin*

“Our Democracy” = Their Oligarchy....................
Our Founding Fathers were loyal to themselves and their countrymen. Those in D.C. today are loyal to the globalists only.
Sadly, this is correct. I think future historians will pinpoint the transition to the time when the UniParty effectively took control in the early 1970s.

DUH!
Y’all figured it out only now?
America died in 1913.
16th and 17th amendments killed it.
And 19th Amendment.
“And 19th Amendment.”
I wanted to include that one also, but
if the Federal government didn’t have so much money the women could not spend it.
Yes and the ruling oligarchy is secret. Biden is its puppet.
Half of America doesn’t even know what the stars on the Flag represent.
Our public schools are indoctrinating Leftists at a rapid rate. If we don't reform the schools our nation is dead.

Read article IV , section 4 of our constitution. We are not a democracy.
He has a better plan now than #draintheswamp now he knows how it operates bleach it until nothing moves.
