So you want to live in a zoo where everyone is taken care of and is equally poor. That's not living like a human. Typical leftist.
You equate democracy with living in a zoo?!

I’m not a leftist, Jefferson. You’re just so far to the right you can’t see much past center.

And considering what you’ve been pushing for via Q, your squad is the danger to this country.

That's not what you said to me previously, though, is it? I said I preferred to live in a democracy and you replied "so you want to live in a zoo." Kind of a freudian slip there, Jefferson.
Democracy is just as bad. Democracy is two wolves and one lamb deciding what to have for dinner.

But they are not the same, are they? You substituted one for the other and then give a wave that they're both 'just as bad.'

We live in a representative democracy (republic). Would you rather live in an authoritarian theocratic state? Are you a Christian dominionist?

What Is A Representative Democracy?

shutterstock-423235990.jpg

A painting of the House of representatives. The United States of America has a representative democracy.

A representative democracy is a system of government whereby eligible members of the public are empowered to elect representatives amongst themselves to enact laws and oversee and protect their interests in government. It is the opposite of direct democracy. Most political scholars see a representative democracy as the most efficient system of democracy, particularly in countries with large populations.

They base their argument on the numerous advantages of a representative democracy. The majority of countries in the world practice this system of government as parliamentary republics, federal republics or constitutional monarchies. Some examples of countries which practice representative democracy are the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, Germany, South Africa, Brazil, India, Japan, the Philippines, Canada, France, Turkey, Argentina, Tanzania, Mexico, Senegal and China among many others.

Splitting hairs. Democracies and representative democracies are kissing cousins. With representative democracies, the wolves vote for their representatives to vote the way the wolves wanted to vote any way. Same outcome. The lamb gets eaten because the lamb don't have as many representatives.

Would you rather live in an authoritarian theocratic state?
Yes, but I doubt you have a clue what that actually means.
Are you a Christian dominionist?
Partially, but I doubt you have a clue what that means either.

Um, you're basically saying your own system of government founded on the Constitution isn't acceptable to you.

Is that why it's so easy for you to condone its overthrow?

Yes, but I doubt you have a clue what that actually means.

Yeah... no. I want no part of your ideas, or your working to overthrow our country. You really are the danger.

I do. And you're not a patriot. Not by a long shot.

I'm especially fond of the two most important amendments, the first and the second. It's the Dems who are constantly attacking those two amendments.

In a representative democracy the majority could vote to imprision all redheads, and could jail all redheads based on the majority vote. America was established as a constitutional republic. The constitution is the final authority NOT the majority.

Too late. You've outed yourself.
