.@MehdirHasan: "I think we in the media have to say, minority rule in the Senate, minority rule on the Supreme Court, minority rule in the presidency — this is not democracy, and maybe some Republicans are okay with it not being democracy."

USA is not a democracy! It is a constitutional republic! Always has been!

This is a stagnant argument. America is at best a managed democracy, where elections are about personalities and theatre. The system is imploding. Neither pro-business and pro-empire parties have durable solutions to anything. Climate change will bring an end to America.

"Republicans are okay with it not being a democracy"? OMFG, they are *thrilled* with 'democracy' exactly the way it is. They have been working at this for over 40 years. And what do the Dems do? With a shrug of the shoulders.... "Meh, whatcha gonna do?"

I, a White Patriot, am not "OK with it not being democracy."

Some? Which ones aren’t?
Replying to @MehdiHasanShow @mehdirhasan
Of course they are. They’re also okay with a fascist regime as well. Their silence was a dead giveaway.

Precisely.
Replying to @MehdiHasanShow @CarlyleLeach @mehdirhasan
They are absolutely ok with minority rule, just not with minorities.
