A warning from Biden

[Father Heathen]

• The United States, while basically a republic, is best described as a “representative democracy.”

So it is a democracy. Weaselly semantics games are disingenuous.

 

[Father Heathen]

How can I? It's the only thing Trump haters can think about or talk about.

Sore losers attempting to defy the will of the people by overturning an election is a pretty big deal.

It's not scaremongering when the man has already tried to subvert democracy the first time around.

And that's all you got for a rallying point--from 3 years ago?

By comparison, we've got 2 escalating wars that began during the Biden regime, an unsecured southern border that has let in around 10,000,000 illegals from every country around the world along with deadly drugs that have killed tens of thousands of Americans, an Afghanistan surrender that put the Taliban back in power, an Iran that is about to have nukes, North Korea that already has 50 of them AND the ability to deliver them wherever they want, a Leftist public that has somehow become instantly anti-Jewish and pro-terrorist, and the best chance to see World War 3 by the end of this year.

But yeah, let's forget all that because....January 6th!

I wish he had succeeded. At least we'd still have a functioning and recognized Republic.

What you'd have is a dictatorship.

What you'd have is a dictatorship.

Can you even define that?

Man I'm sick of Biden and his little "warnings".

The guy is a racist, self-righteous, self-important jerk with a massive hero/savior complex.

He's no better than any other career politician.

Sounds like Trump. How is Biden racist?

The people he hires and advocates for (including VP) are based on skin color, and it shows. He's even admitted it openly when saying he wanted the next SCOTUS justice to be a black woman, and that his VP would be a black woman. Of course, his press secretary is a black woman. Oh well, he got his choices according to skin color, but not content of character. But who cares? After all, the important thing is January 6th, right?

There are a lot of different examples of it throughout his career.

Arguably the worst specific example of it involved his enthusiastic perpetuation of the Clinton Administration's "superpredator" myth that depicted poor black drug addicted men with mental health issues in the inner city as a different kind of species that was a clear and obvious violent threat to civil society and needed to be dealt with by mass incarceration.

This was THE NINETEEN NINTIES too!! Not the 1840s.

That, in and of itself, should be considered to be unforgivable.

It's obvious that they'll use the word "democrat" or "democracy" whenever it's useful to deceive.

Are you kidding?

 

[McBell]

Can you even define that?

form of government in which one person or a small group possesses absolute power without effective constitutional limitations. The term dictatorship comes from the Latin title dictator, which in the Roman Republic designated a temporary magistrate who was granted extraordinary powers in order to deal with state crises. Modern dictators, however, resemble ancient tyrants rather than ancient dictators.​

If that is not defined enough for you, i suppose I can find more source info for dictatorship...

 

[Laniakea]

Are you kidding?

I would be if I didn't know that changing the rules of election security right before an election takes place was a form of election interference, even though it's democrats who call that "ensuring a democratic vote".

Or if I didn't recognize that bombarding the leading GOP candidate with one lawsuit after another just before an election in order to keep him from campaigning (and then taking him off ballots when that doesn't work) was election interference.

Ok, so you've just defined much of what Biden is doing, such as forgiving student loans even after such actions were deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

You should really look up the word "republic" before you make an even bigger fool of yourself.

Minor rule changes that had no effect on the outcome. Now you are sounding like a conspiracy theorist.

As to it taking this long to start the prosecutions it is amazing that you are blaming the wrong party. The Republicans slowed down and opposed the investigations into Trump whenever they could.

Oh no! Name-calling! I guess you won this one!

Or maybe it just took democrats a long time to find anything they could use since they had no evidence.

The more I reflect on recent history, I can't help but wonder whether the USA has ever really been a democracy or even a "free country" whatever that means - both seem like rhetoric to me a lot more than usual these days.

"Affluent neo-imperialist state" seems more fitting to me. Everything else just seems like it's a smoke and mirror show.

I don't think we're witnessing a decay in democracy so much as we are experiencing a loss of affluence. People are really pissed off about it.

I usually think of the adage that Trump puts out, which is actually quite good which is," Make America Great Again", but in retrospect, I wonder if we really did have a "great" period.

The only time I can think of prosperity was after World War II during the 50s and 60s, where industry was strong, and one income could support a whole family , and not to mention the patriarchal anmatriarchal roles contributed to rearing up healthy mentally stable children into mentally stable young adults. Government at that time had notable decorum and professionalism even though the disputes were pretty intense.

A lot has changed since with what comes across as an entirely new mentality of the American people, which certainly does not fit in with traditional roles that were once played out marking the difference between the disastrous results we see today and the stability we saw in the past.

Who's the blame for it all? Somebody? Everybody?

 

[Twilight Hue]

Good! Because it's a Republic that needs to be saved.
Or is it democratic socialism that was nearly thwarted? TALKING SOCIALISM | Catching up with AOC - Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)

Have you noticed how modern Democrats today have absolutely no objections or reservations whatsoever to have open socialists now counted among them as being one of them, eagerly accepted into their party with open arms.

You can certainly tell a leopard by Its spots as they say.
