Republicans are anti-democracy.
Exactly why there should be no restrictions on voting designed to disenfranchise, such as Voter ID laws.
I have 500 history books and they all say America is a democracy not a republic, and also that John Gault is a shriveled little wiener.
What I like about the tweet immediately previous to this one is how it doesn’t dispute the idea that Republicans hate democracy, and acknowledges that saying “we are a republic not a democracy” is in service of an essentially anti-democratic ideology.
We’re not gonna be able to have a productive talk unless all parties involved are honest, so it would be better if more people acknowledged that they dislike democracy because they want to exclude lots of people from public life, and democracy makes that harder to do.
I can understand the reticence to admit that, because it makes one look like a bigoted asshole to do so, but honestly cats and bags, horses and barn doors, etc. etc.
Totally reading comprehension, yes. Reading closer, I see it says that .... America was founded on the bone yards of two great Holocaust by tax-evading slaveowners, so we can make a country better than their intentions, also Ayn Rand died on food stamps.
Abusing other people is fine because other people have done in the past.
