Trumpery Is Metastasizing, Infecting Democratic Elections Elsewhere

Every democrat I've ever known literally believed that the definition of the word "democracy" was "rule by democrats".

They also believe that Progressives help progress....when in fact most of them stand in the way of progress.

Trump and his attacks upon the democratic process, aided and abetted by his weird worshipers who perpetuate his trashing certified elections, are crapping on the will of the People and fueling mindless cynicism and paranoia.

Other authoritarian thugs are now following Trump's whine-if-you-lose philosophy. Trump has triggered an international jihad against democracy: Vilify opponents, incite cultists, and deny elections.


BRASILIA/RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) -President Jair Bolsonaro mingled military parades on Brazil's Independence Day with political rallies in Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia on Wednesday, firing up hundreds of thousands of supporters less than a month before a heated election.​
​
Opponents and legal experts criticized the far-right leader for co-opting public celebrations of Brazil's bicentennial to serve his re-election campaign, in which polls show him trailing leftist rival Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva ahead of a Oct. 2 vote.​
​
"Our battle is a fight between good and evil," Bolsonaro told his supporters from a sound truck in Brasilia, amid cries of "Lula, thief" and banners calling for military intervention in Brazil's Supreme Court.​
​
Bolsonaro toned down his attacks against the judiciary after spending more than a year blasting the courts that run Brazilian elections, which he calls vulnerable to fraud, without citing evidence.​

None of the Democrat filth running here in Florida (that I have seen) are touting their Democrat Party affiliation or their support of Potatohead.

Can't blame them, can you?

If they are dealing with an uninformed, close-minded electorate, such discretion is sensible, I suppose.

The world has seen this before: The destabilization of an existing political process by a strongman type who knows he can't win by playing by the rules.

As always, this can't be done by one person. It requires the assistance of others who are willing to sell out their country to stay close to power.

Somehow we haven't learned that this won't turn out well.

OOOH! Big time projection. You can't be serious?

Correct.

Trump along with others on the neo-fascist, illiberal, anti-democratic right pose an imminent threat to democracy.

“Analysts who study governance around the world have been warning for years that democracy is in decline, both in quality and quantity. Fewer countries can legitimately claim to be democracies. Among those that can, many are less democratic than they were just a few years ago.”

There is no "will of the people", the FPTP system sees to that. However he is making people regard the process in place as lacking authority, which is exceedingly dangerous.

Probably about time people stood up for proper democracy with Proportional Representation.
