President Trump has spent his first year in office treating Joe Biden's presidency as a historical aberration — not just undoing his policies, but casting his entire term as illegitimate.
Why it matters: Presidencies usually fade. But in just one year, Biden's has been reduced to a footnote by a successor committed to dismantling every pillar of Washington's old liberal order.
1. Democracy: Biden built his presidency around the idea that American democracy had been assaulted by Trump 1.0 — that Jan. 6 was a defining national trauma requiring accountability and moral clarity.
Trump has inverted that premise, pardoning thousands of Jan. 6 defendants, appointing 2020 election deniers to senior positions and deploying state resources to whitewash the Capitol assault.
Bent on retribution after surviving four prosecutions, Trump has targeted political enemies with investigations and indictments that have shattered any pretense of the Justice Department's independence.

For the 18,015th time…we are not a democracy
It wasn’t a Biden presi-dense-y. Tt was an election steal and coup.
Lol! I’m laughing way too much at that AI gif!
Let me see it just one more time.
Sorry, Tt was supposed to be “It”
‘ For the 18,015th time…we are not a democracy’
🙄
Yes we are.
Specifically a representative democracy.
That talking point has never made any sense.
I’d like to see Trump have Biden “airbrushed” from history.
It's "our democracy". And "rules-based order" maintained by Globalists in London-Paris-Brussels.
This is what will mark President Trump as the greatest in history.
Not enough. We are going to be eating the sh_t sandwich he left us for years and years to come. We may never be rid of it.
Same for obammy, how are you liking you health care? If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor and all that.

He also had the bathrooms cleaned at the White House
Removed all of Pedo Pete’s tranny filth and Hunter’s drug residue.
Democracy is a system of government where power rests with the people, exercised either directly or through freely elected representatives, emphasizing principles like majority rule with minority rights, rule of law, free & fair elections, equality, and fundamental freedoms (speech, assembly). Key types include direct democracy (people vote on everything) and representative democracy (people elect officials to decide), with modern systems balancing popular rule with constitutional protections for individual liberty and human rights, aiming for responsive, accountable governance.
Core Principles
Popular Sovereignty: The people are the ultimate source of authority.
Political Equality: Every citizen has an equal say, often through “one person, one vote”.
Majority Rule & Minority Rights: Decisions reflect the majority, but the rights of minorities are protected.
Rule of Law: Everyone, including rulers, is subject to the law.
Human Rights & Civil Liberties: Essential freedoms (speech, press, assembly) are guaranteed.
Free & Fair Elections: Regular, competitive elections with transparent processes.
Citizen Participation: Encourages involvement through voting, civic groups, and political parties.
Types of Democracy
Direct Democracy: Citizens vote on laws and policies directly (e.g., ancient Athens, modern referendums).
Representative Democracy (Republic): Citizens elect representatives to make decisions for them (most modern democracies).
Constitutional Democracy: A system with a constitution that limits government power, protecting rights (e.g., USA).

Because it was a historical aberration. The election was stolen and Biden should have never been president.
We are a “representative REPUBLIC”...Not a democracy...
The headline- they’re saying that it was a bad thing?🤨
As always, you can count on Axios to be 180 degrees out from the truth.
Just take anything they say about any subject and count on them to have it exactly backwards.
Wow, what a nauseating excerpt. I need to go take a shower after reading that.
