Yes, the people physically attacking, macing, and silencing those they disagree with are the opposite of bullies.

Hate to be picky pede, but it says the same in my reproduction original 1805 Roget's Thesaurus (and he was a British theologian). It is from Ancient Greece. A tyrant was the opposite of a democrat.

Makes sense now in that context. Monarchy would have been the tyrants.

No, democracy was invented in Greece in cities like Athens and Parthos and Corinth and others. The tyrants were everyday politicians who were elected in the normal way, then seized absolute power "in the name of the people." People like Thrasybulus. The democrats opposed this innovation.

That's correct if one uses autocrat vs democrat in the strictest sense. Good catch tho, pede!

Technically correct. Dims have to steal words and lie, or nobody would vote for them. Today's Demonrats are not at all democratic.

Dictionary.com are leftist for sure but there are less subtle ways to expose them, for instance one of their recent article is just an expose from the LGBT https://www.dictionary.com/e/sexual-and-romantic-orientation/
