I just want to point out that the majority of people are manipulated by massive corporations on a daily basis. They just use it for immediate profit by getting them to buy things. They could easily start manipulating people for political gain, of which they’ve tried in the past with varying degrees of success.
This is expressly what a constitutional federal republic (a specific type of democracy) is meant to prevent.
I know exactly what fascism is. Being anti-democracy does not in itself make you a fascist, but it’s a very strong sign that you are. Either way you’re an asshole and I don’t particularly care what flavor of asshole you are.
Never thought being pro-freedom meant fascist to intellectuals such as yourself. A system that could swing from election to election based on one vote seems pretty fucking horrible tbh, especially in the US with our deep partisan divdes. Imagine the sheer horror the libs would go through whe the country went 50.0000000001 to 49.9999999999 conservative and abortion became illegal for 4 years! Bet you’d hate democracy then!
For the record, I’m solidly pro choice, pro 2A, athiest and couldn’t care less who you want to spend your naked time with. Find another lazy insult, fascist already wore itself out, and it doesn’t describe the people you think it does - bet you agree with keeping Trump off the ballot. “Democratic”, indeed.
What, pray tell, gives you that idea? Considering i seem to know more about it than most of the people in this thread that want to pull some sort of “gotcha” on me, id argue the opposite. What do you find me to be in disagreement with the constitution on? Only arguments I’ve made here have been that there’s no proof that Trump ordered an assault on the capitol. If your argument is that they were whipped up by his rhetoric (and I’d like to see it in context, including the “peacefully and patriotically let your voices be heard” part included), then way more people need to be imprisoned longer for their “involvement” in the BLM/antifa riots of 2020. Maxine Waters literally stated that if you see a “Trumper” in a public place to get in their face and tell them they’re not welcome. Seems to be pretty inciting speech, yet she’s free to roam about and squander our tax dollars (like both sides do, I’m not disputing that). You don’t really believe any of this shit, you just hate Trump and see it as an excuse to remove him from politics and to serve as a warning to anyone who dares to stand in the way of your progressive agenda.
Saying I was “there in spirit, so come get me” was pretty obviously a joke. If you don’t like it, that’s on you.

If you’re incapable of clicking a link, we can go to the host stand and get you a placemat and some crayons. The US is not a democracy, by definition, regardless of what your kindergarten teacher is telling you.
You’re acting like a child, so I’ll speak to you like you are one. You’re too lazy, dumb or all the above to click a link that explains in detail how the US isn’t a democracy, it’s a republic. How the fuck this thread devolved into that I can’t even remember.
And I believe the phrase is “mentally challenged”. Don’t get canceled “my G”.

Democracy, by definition, is 50% +1 vote, otherwise known as “mob rule”. That would be an even shittier system to live under.
Ok fascist.
