Democracy is when you prohibit everybody but voting except rich white slave owners!
Reminder that our founding fathers broke off because of “taxation without representation” but then denied representation for most Americans.
Women? “No say.” Black people? “Wait those are people?” Native Americans? “Sure they were here first but I have money.” Immigrants? “Why would I support new comers to this land my family has been here for 30 years!”
We didn’t even used to vote for our senators, they were voted in by the state legislator, which you could vote for if your state allowed your kind to vote, but most places only allowed for certain people to vote.
America pretends it was a democracy, when Musk and Trump just show it was all a show and it could be toppled over at any point. Most of the laws in place for offices of power were just codes of ethics with no punishment for violation. If you did break a law, the president has never really been checked, so just break more as they figure out what to do.
