RIP Democracy

[Independent thinker]

However the US got here, you have to recognize where it is now at.

If you think the first few weeks of Trump have been catastrophic, wait till you see what is coming next.

Trump is going to knock down every tenet of freedom and democracy. Just think of what you conceive of as 'the worst he can do',
and double it.
He is like a crazy arsonist, lighting bonfires across town, the populace runs around in panic trying to douse the flames, and he just goes
to another street and lights another fire. If you spend all your time running after fires with a bucket of sand and never catch the
arsonist, he is winning. Soon he will have burnt down the whole town.
Democracy has worked as long as people respected the checks and balances, and behaved like gentlemen. Having given power
to a a madman who is defying every moral, ethical, and constitutional tenet of democracy, who is bent on defying the rules, a gentlemanly
response is not going to work.
He has broken the law, defied the courts, done away with due process, corrupted the congress and ended constitutional authority,
and is bent on ending the rule of law. And he is doing it at a pace that the system cannot keep pace with.

He is openly kowtowing to Putin, whose methods and system he intends to duplicate. He talks about Canada exactly as Putin talked
about Ukraine. He is openly advocating building a new empire, just like Putin, taking over Greenland, Canada, Panama, and who knows what next
In my view, it is too late already, America is cactus
If Bernie and AOC and others bring people to the streets, Trump will use Putins' playbook, using the military, and finally torch America
to the ground. Project 2025 lays it all out.

Use your imagination, Leave NATO? Drop the sanctions? Help Russia? Even worse is coming.

Do you have a crystal ball? You do realize that claiming you have a crystal ball makes you look nuts, don't you?

Do you have a crystal ball?

No, but he has an e-mail full of talking points.

NATO is junk and we need to purge the govt ticks ie , shadow govt, CIA, etc out of our own house. Worthless worthless worthless.

[BluesLegend]

I woke up this morning, carefully peeking out from under my bed covers worried Trump had DESTROYED democracy while I slept, and banned Ketchup packets. Mostly I was worried about the latter.

 

[Orangecat]

last November we witnessed a catastrophic failure of democracy, the consequence of democracy’s greatest weakness: the voters.

Two wolves and a sheep. Do you finally understand why we aren’t a democracy?

 

[Thinker101]

Correct.

Indeed, last November we witnessed a catastrophic failure of democracy, the consequence of democracy’s greatest weakness: the voters.

Because of the fear, ignorance, and stupidity of the voters, we have the return of the fascist Trump regime; an illiberal autocrat and enemy of democracy, Trump is unfit to be president.

Damn, sure sounds like a catastrophic failure of Democrats. And if you're going to blame the "fear, ignorance, and stupidity" of voters, you obviously haven't learned a damn thing. Carry on, you idiots are doing a great job.

I have to admit, Democrats have their talking points down to a science. Nothing gets in the way of their talking points, not even facts. Not even when the world is crumbling around them with only a 27% approval rating. Stick to the talking points. Sooner or later Americans will agree with their talking points.

Dem sheeple are like those zombies in World War Z, they stand around dormant awaiting stimulus from Dem talking point command.

It is rather funny to see several different people and media all reading from the very same playbook/marching orders.

 

[Orangecat]

It comes as no surprise, of course, that it was Trump and Republicans who killed democracy.

How did they kill democracy? By winning an election?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Democracy is only dead in the Democrat party.

Because it's the voters they hate. Look at what's posted. Democrats hate the democracy that democracy gives them. To perfect democracy, they must control the vote.

I certainly hope so. Democrats need to be obliterated.

We were not and are not and have never been intended to be a “democracy.”

So, stop your drooling. Wipe your chin. Calm the fuck down. And learn a little bit about our Constitutional republic.

 

[Marchimedes]

(Trump) is bent on ending the rule of law. And he is doing it at a pace that the system cannot keep pace with.

You'd better learn how to type this kinda bull$h!t faster, then.

 

[Marchimedes]

What is interesting here is how insidious fascism

I don' know you from Adam, just asking, what is your definition of fascism?

 

[Marchimedes]

Constitutional republic.

 

[whitehall]

After the four years of fascism under the Biden regime with businesses closing and schools closing and Christians arrested for congregating, the left convinces themselves democracy is over when Trump closes the borders and deports criminal illegal aliens. Maybe TDS is really a mental illness.
