I read this after following the link from a newer post - so Stu your suggestions DO work sometimes. Good stuff. We'd be in a far better place if everyone understood why our form of republic protects all of our rights but especially the ones out of power. Of course, that is exactly why some push to be less of a republic and more of a democracy - they understand that all too well, but view it only as an obstacle to what they want.
Thank you, thank you thank you Stu Tarlowe. I was literally losing my mind. If I hear this "Democracy" claim one more time I'm going to do something that will seriously damage my social credit score. Not one second of one minute of one day in the last 246 years has this country been a Democracy. There has really never even been a proper established democracy on this continent in modern history. Yet you hear it 5000 times a day, repeated just as often by people who know better as it is by the ignorant and stupid. Every day Nancy Pelosi makes another statement about defending Democracy. But if this were actually a Democracy there would be no House of Representatives, no Speaker of the House and Nancy Pelosi would be $300 million poorer and somehow a worse alcoholic. It's off the rails and a chilling reminder that so many who think they think, and those who think those people are thinkers, are all brainless robots regurgitating the same TV mouth sounds back and forth meaninglessly and pointlessly. Where did the world go? And let's be clear, Democracy is nothing more than the idea that 60 people can beat up 40. It's the law of the jungle. And if we had a Democracy the bottom 51% would have already 'Democracied' you out of everything you own. Like 245 years ago. So if you're painting Democracy in any good light you are as stupid as you already sound. Thanks again Stu for this needed dose of sanity. And to those of you who would dare to please and amaze people with your musings on how to 'protect our democracy' here's and idea:. how about just existing instead?! Like thinking your own thoughts in your own words, if for no other reason than to say one thing in your whole life, individual to you and your own mind, so that the record can reflect that you existed at all. Assuming you even have it in you...
Wow! I'm pleased that my remarks "resonated" with you and inspired your own (nicely written!) comments. Now if we could just reach the "useful idiots" and the quasi-educated! Meanwhile, though, thanks for the kind words, and remember, any time you like what you read here, please feel free to spread it around!
Lol thanks. Yeah that one had been brewing a while. 24/7 political coverage across the TV and web and not one single dope can even accurately name the very system of government we live under. The worst by far are "Republicans" somehow won't even refer to our Republic as such. They're literally advertising their sellout, while the rank and file scratch their head wondering how and why they keep losing over and over.
