A REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC, NOT A DEMOCRACY

Oppressive Rule by the State can be Overcome

There is a lot of discussion on the term Democracy in the latest round of Democrat talking points repeated ad nauseam by the mainstream media. The hypocrisy is rich.  They say that the Republican party, mostly those who voted for Donald Trump twice ('“Trumpies” according to Biden), are in the process of destroying American Democracy. But there is no democracy to destroy. The American People have installed a representative republic, not a democracy. In a representative republic, the People are represented by elected officials. In a democracy, each person casts their own vote on the subject of concern to the community. The most votes win. They have agreed in advance to concede to the rule of the majority. The minority has no say-so after the vote. So, a tyranny of the majority can sometimes occur, and very often does.

In a representative republic, the differences between factions are sorted-out in the process of electing a representative. The representative is supposed to be a wise and fair person who takes the needs of the minority, as well as the majority, into consideration when it becomes necessary for the representatives to cast their votes. The representative must be a citizen of the community and live in that community. There is less of a tendency for a tyranny of the majority to come into existence. The problem with a representative republic is that the representatives can become corrupted by both power and money.  Their vote can even be purchased by a minority faction that has been funded by outsiders, often those with different objectives than the minority or majority interests of a constituency of voters. In some cases, a tyranny of the minority emerges.

The American founding documents were well thought out and included separate branches of government with checks and balances between these branches. But the Founders did not place limits on repetitive terms in office. And that has caused the Government to grow and extend its reach well beyond the limited scope of government desired by the Founders. The increased reach has resulted in more bureaucrats and a larger portion of the Government being run by un-elected officials. These un-elected officials introduce even more opportunity for political and financial corruption.

Today the Nation is being run by an army of un-elected officials who have become un-touchable. The People have been divided into controllable factions with the exception of one faction, the combined MAGA and America First constituencies. They represent the true American Heartland and they intend to save the Nation from the Progressive movement. They are not the enemy of democracy. Far from it. They seek to return the United States of America to WE THE PEOPLE.   To do that, the Republican Party in its entirety must unite and eliminate infighting. That means Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell need to get after it and support their nominees or get out of the way.

The ultimate fix for the current cancerous growth of government bureaucracy may well be an Article 5 Convention of States. But the 2022 mid-term elections are now upon us. Talk to your Democrat friends, assuming you have some. They need to hear and see the Truth. Most Democrats are not evil, they have just been misled by the Progressive activists in their midst and the media. With some aggressive effort by conservatives, misguided Independents and traditionally patriotic blue-collar Democrats can be redeemed. Just ignore the Progressives and stop repeating their talking points for them.
