The hijacked democracy when they put him in.

Democracy, as practiced by the Democrat (Socialist) party, has little to do with any kind of democratic process.

Now, ever since the Republic was founded, some form of a democratic process has been used to choose the candidates for office, and the person who ultimately gained the position. But it was never a simple majority vote, with no compromise possible between the victor, and the minority that voted against the victor. The minority has the right, the duty, to object to excesses in whatever action is taken by the majority, and demand redress for these excesses.

For this, it is obligatory that the press has free authority to question any act by the legislative branch, the executive branch, and even the judiciary branch. This authority is continuously under attack by all branches of the government, and sometimes by elements within the press itself.

“Nobody is above the law”, many are fond of chanting, Nobody is above criticism, either, but both the law and the criticism have to relate in some way to real circumstances, and be applied accordingly.
