The political class every chance they get. We are a democracy because we will vote people out that do not give us the goodies. Its to late. People running for office are called every vile name possible for not being compassionate. Just keeping the social programs where the are is not acceptable. We have people on these boards who demean people who make a point of telling them we are spending to much about taking any money from government at all. Are we supposed to be total suckers?The payment from each of us from getting paid by the government even though it is ours is the loss of freedoms. When we were a Republic though, we were crude with each other. We then became a Democracy with all people elegable to vote and elected men and women who promised goodies. Embedded in many bills and laws enacted were losses of rights and executive orders to corral men and women in dire times. Some were in the front of us. The police are authoritarian as we see them now in many areas. It is not a laughing matter. And people who have been empowered now can and many will lose that if things get bad enough. New leadership will have to train the best of us to compete in a new world with other nations having more power then now."Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Large groups of people aren't that essential for a few weeks if the alternative is unchecked spread of the virus. Getting past the curve is more than just a little temporary safety.
Who told you that we are a democracy?
Thank you for demonstrating the difference between a normal person, and another dumb ass right winger. Get a grownup to help you lookup the difference between our type of democratic republic and a democracy.
