CPAC: Speaker pledges end of American democracy to wild applause.

[Procrustes Stretched]

are these creeps in the room with you right now??

are they touching you in your special place??

You people - Always with some perversion.

 

[progressive hunter]

The RW creeps touched everyone's pockets when they printed away all the valve of their hard earned money.

if true makes one wonder why democrats dont vote for more republicans,,

 

[ThisIsMe]

Did I embarrass you?

No, I just enjoy watching the faux outrage from the left when they blame the right for being homophobic and racist and then seeing you all post comments like you did. There is a pattern there, I’ve noted it a few times now

 

[ThisIsMe]

Well, no. The representatives then have to vote on everything that comes before them.

That’s still a representative republic

 

[Hutch Starskey]

No shit.
Which operates by democracy.

No shit.

it operates by a constitution,,

 

[Marener]

That’s still a representative republic

A democratic republic, given we vote for our representatives.

Take away the vote, we are no longer democratic.

That's exactly what a lot of people on the right have been trying to do.

 

[martybegan]

Holy shit, the brainwashing is complete.

There is no hope for this country.

Pure democracy is 51 out of 100 people deciding they want the other 49 people's stuff, and legally they can do it.

why are you guy so afraid of the word constitution??

Conservative activist Jack Posobiec joyfully hailed the “end of democracy” at the Conservative Political Action Conference, further emphasizing Republicans’ apparent desire to completely overthrow America as we know it.

MAGA Republican Pledges “End of Democracy” to Rabid Cheers at CPAC

Republicans at CPAC 2024 are openly vowing to take down democracy.

newrepublic.com

Now MAGA are not even hiding their contempt for our democratic institutions.

As Maya Angelou said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them.”

Note: I know one of the first posts from a MAGA will be we are not a democracy. Yes, that is the exact sentiment I would expect from someone who doesn't care if our democratic institutions are eliminated.

This is a very sad commentary on the complete ruination of conservative thought.

If the “institutions “ are not called for in the constitution then they should be abolished

a constitutional republic,,

why are you guy so afraid of the word constitution??

Because it's whole purpose is to restrict government power, and they love themselves some government power.

Okay. A democratic constitutional republic.

Why are you guys so afraid to admit we have the right to vote for our representatives?

 

[Marener]

Because it's whole purpose is to restrict government power, and they love themselves some government power.

The reason you guys are so afraid of the word democratic is that you think you have the authority to determine who's vote counts and who's vote is to be disregarded.

if you could read above a 1st grade level you would get a dictionary and see a republic requires the voting of representatives as well as our constitution requiring the same thing along with how POTUS is elected,,,,

but hey wheres the fun in that,,

Republics can be quite un-democratic.

It depends on how you define the "public".

Are we still a republic if we only let white land-owning males vote in elections?

 

[Captain Caveman]

america isnt a democracy,,

Does America have any part of representative democracy (ie. do you get to vote for someone to represent you in government)?

The US is a Republic with a splash of representative democracy.
