More and More Republicans Do Not Believe in Democracy

In short, they only believe in democracy if the people who are in charge are white. If the choice is between a dictatorship with a white person in charge, say, Donald Trump, or a democracy with a non-white person at the top, say, Kamala Harris, they'll set fire to the Constitution and go with a dictator.

Which means that, for all intents and purposes, those people are not true Americans. True American citizens are loyal to the Constitution and the government it outlines. To say that they'll vote to trash the Constitution because a Black or brown person may win is chilling.

To a lot of Republicans, it seems that V-E Day is a day of mourning, for to them, we fought on the wrong side.

  1. And those people have the nerve to call themselves "Patriots", and speak down to those of us that see a different America.
    It's sad that our country is so bitterly divided.

  2. Wikipedia:

    "The authoritarian personality is a personality type characterized by extreme obedience and unquestioning respect for and submission to the authority of a person external to the self, which is realized through the oppression of subordinate people.

    Conceptually, the term authoritarian personality originated from the writings of Erich Fromm, and usually is applied to men and women who exhibit a strict and oppressive personality towards their subordinates".

    The Fox News bullhorn and Twitter shotgun keep them in line in moments of doubt.

  3. It’s more difficult to grift the electorate in a Democracy.
