There exists a vast right wing conspiracy, one which seeks to make our nation in to a Constitutional Republic, wherein the legislature's membership is owned outright by the Oligarchs, making democracy a sham. They are aided by a supreme court which values money and its use as Freedom of Speech and Expression, allowing propaganda to flow freely into the hearts, minds and souls of voters, the more biddable the voter, the more they echo the propaganda.
The Right Wing fears democracy, fears the will of the people and seeks to control all three branches of government - federal and state - to make sure the laws fit their needs, usually at the expense of the many. Of course a carrot or two are tossed to some of the many, those they do not scapegoat and jail, and along with their propaganda they will have made us into a Law (and Order) Republic. Much like the sham known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, i.e. North Korea.
We are a constitutional Republic. That is how the founders established this country. It's the only way to ensure that people remain equal.
True Democracy self-destructs eventually, which is why it's something to be avoided at all costs. Democracy does not protect rights of the minority. Majority rules, even if that majority is evil.
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for dinner. Liberty (courtesy of a constitutional Republic) is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
