This is terrifying.
Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and prospefity are. We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that.

Spoken by someone supporting someone who only reads the speeches of Hitler.

I’m glad they are finally saying their truth out loud.

What’s terrifying about it? That they finally have the cojones to speak out loud the evils they’ve been perpetuating for decades upon decades?

No it isn't he's right. Imagine what the opposite would sound like: "Liberty, peace and prosperity aren't the objective. Democracy is. Liberty and peace can thwart that." THAT'S terrifying.

The right wing has to downplay democracy because they know the majority popular vote isn't with them. That is why they are forever reminding you we live in a republic, not a democracy.

Difficult to imagine what kind of "liberty" can exist without genuine democracy

I really wish the worst group of people didn’t represent us. I genuinely hate this country. We’re so barbaric.
