THREAD - Independent thinking is a prerequisite for a healthy democracy. When sensationalism, tribalism and emotions replace accuracy, liberty and interests, democracy will be jeopardized. Over the past few days:
- Liberty-loving Republicans, who associate strong government with tyranny, have been calling for the deployment of combat troops to police Americans
- Government-loving Democrats, who shun individualism and the Second Amendment, have been calling for de-funding police, leaving Americans with the only alternative of arming themselves to the teeth.
Don't trust the party you're affiliated with, politicians you like, or media that amplifies your wishful thinking. Revisit the constitution, the founding principles and debate of the republic, and civics.
Think for yourself, and formulate your independent opinion. If you do so, you'll soon find yourself non-aligned and mixing and matching ideas from both parties. Democracy dies without independent-thinking citizens. #Democracy #Liberty #Citizens #Civics
