When I say leftards lie and love to be lied to, I mean it. You think the dazzler and the puppet masters behind the dementia patient give a sh*t about democracy? I'll substitute our Constitutional republic for "democracy" because like Matt Viser says, true democracy doesn't work and our founding father's were well aware of that. Democracy is fine as long as the leftard authoritarians get what they want. If they don't, then democracy is out the window. Witness the illegal election changes due ostensibly to the chicom crud and the illegal ballot harvesting and lack of enforcement of internal controls and segregation of duties in the 2020 election along with the dem support for dirty voting rolls including registering illegal aliens. Viser is fine with democracy as long as dem governors are in charge and allowed to determine the outcome of elections and how votes are counted.
We have repeatedly asked the leftards how was Trump an authoritarian and you get crickets. Enforcing our immigration statutes isn't authoritarian. Ignoring our immigration statutes is authoritarian. Forgiving $400 billion (it will be at least double that figure) in student debt is authoritarian. When Italy votes for some independence from the EU, that's democracy - same with the UK and Brexit. It is the opposite of fascism.
