No, I will not seriously "engage" in such an asinine discussion.

There's not going to be a military coup. I mean, you're free to fantasize about it, but obviously no one with any credibility within the military is going to even entertain overthrowing the government simply because the guy that doesn't like soldiers that were captured has a case of the sads.

FWIW But democracy is absurd anyway so why don’t we try to be a bit more clear with the words you are using in the absolute sense democracy means that every bill up for debate gets a referendum by all 300 million Americans is that what you mean by democracy?

It’s not just about Trump. We’re obviously not ready for a coup literally today, but it’s pretty clear the Supreme Court isn’t free to exercise its authority without threats that cause you to doubt their independence for starters

No, in a democracy the people have a voice. In a dictatorship they don’t. This is basic stuff that most kids learn in elementary school.

I mean, it's also about crying and sadness and endlessly wondering how boat parades don't equal votes but mainly it's about Trump.

Some of you idiots can't let it go, he lost. Joe Biden is your president and Trump is going to continue to be just some fat guy that lives in Florida. None of your idiotic fantasies about coups are going to change that.

June 1, 20214 yr When FDR said the U.S. must be "the great arsenal of democracy” what he really was saying was that the U.S. needed to stand up to fascists and authoritarian strongmen. People like Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, and even Stalin (who was an ally in WWII due to convenience).

Yet FDR was such a strong man himself that we changed the constitution to prevent someone like him having that many terms

We have a representative democracy in this country. Which means we elect people who vote on the legislation for us. l’m assuming you weren’t raised in the U.S.

A person from Maine doesn’t get a vote in who represents New Hampshire These rules ultimately are established by bloodshed, because the constitution was not implemented through democratic means

You guys really overplay certain things, like using Trump as a rhetorical club to beat people into accepting your way of seeing things Just now, Dave Moss said: Sure it was. The representatives to the Constitutional convention were elected. After they beat back the British
