npub1lrvmc88ck63qpt734w85t5pnxchncvam0p9k9mueuezqz0grkn6s8jtth9 (npub1lrv…tth9) We only ever had the facade of a democracy, even from the founding. When you write out women, the 3/5ths people, and most of the non-landlords from being able to choose their representation, face it, the founders were not interested in a democracy.
The nation is functioning as designed.
If the GOP wins in the next 5-7 years and gains control like it was in 2017 (House, Senate, WH, and SCOTUS), they would have done so democratically, right?
Or at least constitutionally.
