At this point I'm starting to think democracy is a slippery slope towards communism.
It's just to easy to gain power by appealing to the envy and laziness of the masses and promising them free shit.
At the very least we need to restrict the franchise. People should have to demonstrate skin in the game before voting. For example being a net tax payer and undergoing basic military training and maintaining ready-reserve status.
Someone who pays taxes isn't going to vote for government bloat and endless gibs for designated victim groups.
And someone who has a chance of getting drafted for war isn't going to vote for unnecessary foreign wars.

That’s why we’re a republic, not a democracy.
Its a weak system that can be taken over by propaganda and brainwashing. You can also demographically take over by invading without a fight.
Requires too much of people who are trash understanding civics and morality
