Have you considered what life will be like in post-democracy America?

[Seymour Flops]

First, when I say “democracy “I mean in the loose sense that we talk about it here in the United States, where we have a representative republic. By “democracy “I mean that the people get to make the decisions that the constitution allows us to make by vote.

This principle took a big hit when the leaders and senior advisors of the Democratic Party decided to overthrow the elected president and elected nominee for a second term.

Some of us may think that Trump winning the general election is the hope for democracy. Maybe. But there are several possibilities.

One Trump could definitely lose. nearly any mainstream Republican could easily be Kamala Harris. But with the media being so hysterical over Trump, they will pull out all stops and there is no telling what they will come up with between now and November.

Trump could win and not be able to accomplish the deep cleaning of the executive branch that would need to happen in order for democracy to have a chance to take route again. Trump could win and simply not live long enough to accomplish that. Trump could win, deep, clean the executive branch, but still be defeated by political parties, willing to go around voters as the Democrats did this time and courts willing to allow them to do it.

So… think about what life will be like.I have some ideas, but I’d rather this thread be an open discussion of how we would live when political parties and not voters choose our leaders.

Because my guess is that if Trump is not able to bring about this return to democracy, the Republican party will quickly jump on board with making the choices themselves. After all their senior leader ship was never happy with the voters choosing Trump in the first place.

I’d like to hear from Sirius posters and learn what they think.

We don’t have to imagine what it will be like if Dems take over everything. It will be like any other socialist regime. Persecute Christians, conservatives, and anyone else that doesn’t align with their Agenda.

To think that 1/3 of democrats today wish Trump had been assassinated makes it far more reasonable to think they would also try to rig elections to beat him.

In their sick minds, there is nothing they will not do to destroy him.

One-third of Democrats wish Trump had been killed, poll shows

A new snap poll revealed that a third of Democratic voters wish former President Donald Trump had been killed by his would-be assassin.

americanmilitarynews.com

There are 45 million registered democrats which means one third of them, which is 15 million people, would murder Trump if they could.

But it is not just Trump. They also tried to murder the entire GOP Congress at a charity baseball game in Virginia, and they tried to murder Justice Kavanaugh as well.

The DNC is not so much a political party as it is an organized crime syndicate.

Oh, and they own the media and academia as well. I'm sure they were threatened as well if they did not play ball.

We would certainly find that out if Trump won.

In what way would Trump winning damage democracy? The primary voters chose him, and the general election voters would be chosing him.

That's democracy init?

Nope, sure have not.

Thank goodness we have you here to be triggered enough for all of us

So, you are saying that prior to the 1950s when the current primary system became widely used we did not have democracy in the United States?

We were less democratic, than when we switched.

was life better or worse back then?

Sadly, that often depended on what color you were.

Being more democratic is a goal on itself. Is possible we could all have better lives under a benevolent dictatorship, but Americans would – or in the past would have – rebel against that.

 

[Anathema]

I have two very different visions….

Vision 1 (Democrat Socialist Leadership): its dark. Its empty. I’m dead, one way or another.

Vision 2 (Right Wing Authoritarian paradise): I might possibly be happy for the first time in my life. I take a trip to Texas to shoot illegal border crossers on a safari. Women are returned to their proper place. Affirmative Action and the rest of the social safety net are destroyed. Leftists are imprisoned, reeducated or just plain executed.

Very often on here we are told that democracy is bad and that is why the Founding Fathers made us a Republic instead

Read the OP.

Where are primaries mentioned in the Constitution?

How do you feel about ballot referendums?

 

[DakotaKai_fan20]

I believe that it will be like the Soviet Union under Stalin. Gulag like death camps, massive purges, ssassinations against rival politicians. I wouldn't want to live in Socialist/Communist United States.

you people are so fucking stupid

Oh then why are conservatives like my grandfather and me are calling democrats Socialists? Because they act like the Chinese.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Because their party told them they were Socialists, and these days that is all that matters.

Except that is the truth. So many Democrats are turning towards Marxism and Socialism. You might be both.

It is the truth if you are an uneducated dolt and do not know what the words mean.
