Hayward: Report Finds Twice as Many Nations Moved Toward Authoritarianism as Democracy in 2022
Breitbart ^ | 12/02/2022 | John Hayward

Posted on 12/02/2022 12:07:01 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA) issued a report on Wednesday that found democracy in retreat around the world, with twice as many nations moving toward authoritarianism as those which sought to become more democratic.

IDEA is an advocacy group based in Stockholm, Sweden, with 34 member nations represented on its board. The United States is not a member but has “official observer” status.

The stated mission of the group is “advancing democracy worldwide, as a universal human aspiration and an enabler of sustainable development, through support to the building, strengthening and safeguarding of democratic political institutions and processes at all levels.”

The Expert Class think we cannot manage our every day affairs ourselves. They think we’re stupid. They will be very surprised.

“Biden’s fault”

It started a long time before Biden. The Bush family loved them some ‘Patriot’ Act.

advancing democracy worldwide

There's the problem. Moving functional republics to mob rule. 95% of the time it works 99% of the time.

The liberals won. They destroyed the competency and literacy of our youth. This will be a generational issue going forward. I don't think it's going to get better before it gets much MUCH worse.

I don’t want the US to be a democracy or authoritarian. It is the latter.

People were frightened after 9/11.

Bush never thought democrats would use an act meant to protect us from Islamic terrorists against conservatives Americans.

Bush didn’t know what totalitarian filth democrats are... he was gullible.

The true nemesis of authoritarianism is constitutionally-limited republican government, not mere “democracy.”

Truer words were never spoken...Plato and Jim Madison taught me that a long time ago.

No. Both Bushes are/were Deep State and Uniparty members in good standing. I hate the duplicitous Bushes even more than Obama.

As sad as it is to see it in hindsight, I think he did know.

And I’ll admit, I was one of the many who was duped by Bush and thought he had the best interests of the American people at heart.
