Democracy died in plain sight
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | November 6, 2024 | By Drew Magary, Columnist

Posted on 11/06/2024 11:36:10 AM PST by artichokegrower

Donald Trump was elected president again last night. After being voted out of office in 2020. After trying to rig the vote and then to overthrow the government by force in the wake of that loss. After all but welcoming a pandemic that ended up killing more than a million of us. After ripping away abortion care rights from millions of American women. After being impeached, twice. After being convicted of multiple felonies. After dogging it on the campaign trail, playing to emptying halls while speaking in demented tongues unknown even to him. After all of that, and God knows what else, we have to do this s—t all over again.

But that’s thin gruel to subsist on right now, because my fellow Americans did this. They wanted this, and I’ll never again take it as a given that they’re a good and kind people. The cost is too high.


Then leave.

Actually, this article is about four years late.

Democracy was actually resurrected yesterday.

It’s not clear from the excerpt, but how exactly did democracy die when there was an election?

The Chronicle publishing some random person’s deranged tantrum is the funniest thing I’ve read today, and there’s a lot of competition this morning.

I see that Drew still hasn’t recovered from his self-inflicted brain damage...

OK Drew, go cry on your husband’s shoulder. I guess it’s a bitch to get back what you give out. Progressives are amazing. They assume that the loan process the permanent mantle of government.

What a pant load! And the really awful part is, their readers think they’re telling the truth!

Perhaps Drew and his wife should start seeing other men.

No, no, no

Democracy was UPHELD when they decided the democratic POTUS candidate would be hand-selected via star chamber and ignored the nomination process.

See how that works?

Constitution Republic.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner.

Democracy is all the millions of illegal immigrants being bused to your sanctuary city, because you said you love them, and flouted federal law.

That earlier Babylon Bee article about the dems wanting to abolish the popular vote just met the real-world example.

More “Disinformation Crimes”. No bail until the trial. We have learned how that works and now payback should be harsh. Trials delayed for years...and years...and years. Who did we learn this from?

When the MSM and the Democrat party say “democracy” they mean “permanent one-party rule by the Democrat party, with a docile Republican party giving cover to make it LOOK like a democracy.”

But, hey, its a Republic!
