Some Republicans have been defensive that the party has a strong anti-democratic bent. But the state GOP convention embraced it, writes columnist Danny Westneat.
“We encourage Republicans to substitute the words ‘republic’ and ‘republicanism’ where previously they have used the word ‘democracy,’ ” the resolution says. “Every time the word ‘democracy’ is used favorably it serves to promote the principles of the Democratic Party, the principles of which we ardently oppose.”
These people are severely uneducated. Democratic does not mean “of democrats of having likeness to democrats”. And these fucken apes think they are the pinnacle of American intellectualism.
Now this begs the question; Can anybody run an antidemocratic platform with the purpose of changing our government at its core to something else? At one point does this freedom transform into treason? When it would alienate the majority’s rights?
There has to be a line somewhere. I dont think anyone in working class America truly wants to live in an Autocracy, even if they might think so. At what point does this become manipulation with the intent of overthrowing the government?
Because as of now, it looks like I can campaign under “King Sanctus” with a platform of returning to a monarchy and that would not be illegal in anyway.
Nobody is really stupid enough to think that the word “democracy” is a value of the Democratic Party instead of one of the core values of all loyal Americans. Its a crude dog whistle to neofascists who despise American values.
At what point does this become manipulation with the intent of overthrowing the government?
Thats not what I meant. I mean at what point do our institutions that were designed to prevent this actually take action? Because this shit doesn’t work by fairy dust and dreams. It works because people believe in it and enforce it. If it is so obvious the common folk of the land can see it. Why can’t anyone with authority put a stop to this madness? Especially when the dog whistles stop being whistles for dogs and turn into words for humans.

We passed that point a long way back.
