hello, does anyone want to talk about protests and democracy? My point: protests do not lead to "more" democracy.

Protests are in their nature democratic though.

I would say democracy is bad because the 51% can take away the rights of the 49%

That could happen regardless from there being a democratic system in place.

Besides, a minority is more likely to trample over the rights of the (majority of) citizens than any democratic system with regular elections is.

i think the thing that did it, when everyone realized trump was going to win in 2020 because the media had been lying about him for over 4 years straight, they realized the same principle might be true for the last 100 years of global warfare. i.e. the victors of WW2 created public schools to teach a false version of their victory. Kinda obvious really

I don’t know what people are going at. America isn’t a democracy. It’s an oligarchy

its still a democracy by definition, i guess by oligarchy you mean in the form of a plutocracy?

And 4 years about lying about Trump? You mean saying how his politics is? Divisive and unpresidential? I don’t know if you haven’t noticed but, his rhetoric aside from economic issues are all about race. From the 2020 census, to dreamers, to illegal immigration, to the wall

His rhetoric is encompassed of racial divisions and old tropes dating back to the Alien and Sedition Acts enacted under John Adams

His economics are faulty as shown during the time of Regan. The deficit exploded as well as the national debt

racial division are natural and inherent, the rise in racial interest was already there under Obama and simply continued under Trump

All for the sake of “supply and demand economics”

who exactly are you replying to?

Oh not to you @protricity

And yes it’s an oligarchy

it seems like this a copy & paste youtube or reddit comment but not well informed

I’m typing this as I’m saying this

And Obama never enacted racial policies.

His policies weren’t inherently racial.

"the deficit exploded as well as national debt"

It did.

under reagan? no

under bush, yes

Trumponomics as well as Regan

Are Trickle down economics

under trump, it follows a pattern

but that pattern was already there

Under Regan the National Debt and Deficit increased.

a gradual slope is not an explosion

A slight exaggeration.

It’s a gradual slope sure.

But it increased significantly under Reagan

I’m trying to point out Trickle Down Economics is utter bullshit.

It has never worked, and will never worked.

And certainly not what Tariff Man is proposing
