Deciding that a person who has not been charged with, let alone convicted of, insurrection is guilty of insurrection and therefore cannot run for president…that is “protecting our democracy” in action. Whenever that term is used, one can be assured that the democracy they are referring to has no semblance to any actual democracy.
Whenever that term is used, one can be assured that the democracy they are referring to has no semblance to any actual democracy.
What they are protecting is their democracy; not a democracy of the people, but now merely a word used to fig leaf the ever-expanding slither of socialist socialite statism, the velvet fascism that is deftly hammering its way through the society and the culture.
From the "Protecting our Democracy Act," which would have essentially federalized elections, pushed by progressive Democrats to countless "Non-profit, non-partisan" groups started by those same totalitarian wokesters, the term can be found being used - and never falling under media judgment - throughout today's political landscape.
Like so many other tech companies, Microsoft has an effort called "Democracy Forward." At a recent conference on digital campaign security, a member of the project, one Ethan Chumley, used a rather telling phrase when describing what Democracy Forward does as "Supporting the institutions we think are fundamental to a healthy democracy."
With a contributor list that reads like a parody of internationalism, the policies suggested essentially espouse the idea of saving democracy by killing freedom.
Allies in democracy must identify, call out and collectively respond to adversaries' attempts to destroy democratic institutions.
Ad infinitum have all used - may even be using it right now - the term "Protect our democracy" and all, whether putatively right or left, mean it the same way - their democracy.
