Imagine being able to "destroy democracy" simply by strictly applying a country's constitution, and doing so completely within that countries own legal processes. Anyone with half a brain can tell this is 100% blood soaked propaganda.

To be fair, our Constitution was created to ensure we were NOT a Democracy

End of democracy? Follow the rules next time, you stupid fucks. That's all they ever do, lie cheat and steal, and they do it so big they dare anybody to have the balls to stop it.

What they mean is "the end of our Democratic Party."

I am grossly simplifying Plato here, but I like his boat analogy. Pretend you have 100 people that are all going on a long journey together on a ship. None of them have ever been on a ship before. Why do you think it's a good idea to let one of them run the ship, and more importantly, what qualifies a majority of the people to decide who that person should be?

It was also designed to be changeable, but only with a large majority in agreement. Lacking large agreement, nothing should be able to be done using the federal government.

pretty much, yes. And they weren't supposed to be in session all the time either. Was typically only a few months a year

Not a direct democracy. We are, however, a representative democracy.

They have changed the definition of "democracy" to "voting for what the elites and the AI say is best for us, if we were just educated enough to understand how smart they are."

I'm exaggerating for effect, but not by much.

And therein lies the problem. Too many on that side don’t utilize what little brain power they have.

Came here to say that!

Trump is EXACTLY and PRECISELY on his way to destroy democracy and restore our Constitutional Republic.
