Politics & Religion / "Threat to Democracy" or Projection??
« on: Today at 07:02:35 PM »
Trump is a "threat to democracy", they say, ad nauseum.
We have a constitutional republic. If you give them the benefit of the doubt it means we have some form of consensual government, versus authoritarian.
Threats to democracy are things like taking remove opponents from the ballot and prosecuting and jailing them.
Who's the threat??
While we're at it, who's the authoritarian? Which side wants government control of something as personal as healthcare. Control of education, anti-choice. They took control of the energy sector and not just about pollution. Pipelines don't pollute; they are ten time safer and cleaner than the alternatives, trucks and trains.
They took control of the transportation sector, announced to us the end of gasoline powered cars, making laws and decisions for us that are permanent, not just for their term in office.
And they took control of housing in America. Don't get me started on that.
Regulation is one thing but government control of industry is fascism.
So speaking of projection, what do they do, call us the fascists. And a threat to democracy. Go figure.
