I only can see that as a product of your "democracy". No matter how bad you want to frame it, those citizens are subjects of your democracy.
No it's a product of the constant continuous erosion of it.
And it's not "my" democracy. I already told you what I do and don't support. I do support "a democracy"
I don't support a representative democracy without proper insulation. Aka, get money the fuck out, and remove gerrymandering since it serves no purpose other than trying to gain the system.
And I'm a major supporter of a direct democracy system. Aka, remove representatives outright, and instead let laws be choose by people through entirely in merit through public support.
And the cause of that erosion?
By none other than the few powerful elites, capitalism.
Aka, including, Republicans and Democrats who represent those powerful elites to varying degrees. With Republicans going straight off the cliff to authoritarianism.
I've gone through this how many times now?
Tl;dr capitalism is an authoritarian based system, it's inherit structure is top to bottom. The boss is the boss, and you get no say in it. Just like how the king is the king, and you cannot go against his words.
Capitalism and democracy are as opposites as oil and water. They don't mix. You can mix it around as much as you want, you might even get it to mix a tiny bit, but it'll separate in the end.
The democracy of Germany elected Hitler, and then things took a hard swing into fascism as its democracy committed seppuku.
The reason Hitler got elected is for the same reasons the United States is on it's last swing point. I give it 2023 or 2024 that the entire system may come completely undone:
Economic down turn/people's needs not being met
Misinformation (aka, fox news, and anything to the right of it.)
Leftism comes as answer to further and further right wing politics. Something we've seen as rights of people have been removed, or continuation of make acting in a democracy harder. Aka, banning trans, aka trying to ban gay marriage, aka trying to prevent people means of voting. (aka blocking mail in ballots) making women's lives miserable.
The only difference is between then and now. Is that fascism to that degree has been seen. And so leftists have the tool set more readily viable to fight against fascist movements.
And the reason I suspect 2023 is because the supreme court wants to rule on independent legislature theory. Which effectively makes it possible for the state to just, not check in with the voter populous. Something Republicans have been heavily pushing.
