I don't think that would be an "end of times" situation, but a "worsened times" situations that could be revertible, with consequences though, but not "end of times".
one issue is the way our democracy functions is weird, and Trump may "win" despite losing the popular vote
ah yes, small protests and youtube videos - somehow to you this is the same as people storming the capitol
There is an humorist in Quebec who made a sketch about him being against democracy. He listed a couple of reasons and, tbh, they are all valid point.
... So for the next 4 years, I'm a surgeon, and if they are not happy, they just don't have to vote for me in 4 years, hehehe... So, you said you had a problem with your heart?"
we have as humans tried other systemsThere is an humorist in Quebec who made a sketch about him being against democracy. He listed a couple of reasons and, tbh, they are all valid point.
Like, what is the basis of democracy? At the beginning, it was meant to give the power to the people. However, what is it in practice? You vote for the person who will screw you for the next 4 years. That's the only power you have and you only get in once every 4 years, you have no power in the mean time.
Another point he raised was, for a lot of people "Democracy = freedom", if there is no democracy, then it is surely a dictature. But, just look at China, Russia, or the Nazi Germany, I'm pretty sure there are a few human rights that were broken right there.
(He made a joke about the majority oppressing the minority : "There is 4 men in a car, 3 of them want to go to strippers, 1 of them wants to go to the museum."
Another point, those who say that democracy may not be perfect, but it's the best system we have. Well, we never really tried another system, right? Like he said, instead of giving the job to the person who has the most vote, how about giving the job to the most competent person like we do with any jobs.
Like, what if we do that for surgeons? You go to the hospital for your heart surgery, you meet the doctor, you ask him how many time has he done the procedure, and he answers "I never done that before, I'm actually a trucker, but when there were elections for being heart surgeon, I decided to run for it. I made some promises, said that I would save tons of life, and they believed me
He gave tons of example like that, and I totally understand each of them.
I never talk politics with my family members, and they never talk politics with me. Life is too short to ruin your relationships with other family members for such a trivial reason. You should just tell your bro "Let's just agree to disagree" and leave it like that.
But consider the implications of not letting the idiots vote. They would be second class citizens. I wouldn't want that to happen. At least, they are somewhat responsible citizens who do vote. Last municipal election in Montreal, I voted, knowing full well that the vast majority of registered voters wouldn't bother to vote. I figured my vote would therefore weigh a lot more than it should, and it did. Valérie Plante was elected, as I wished.
Well, let's be honnest, on an everyday life basis, there is surely no oppression, but when it comes to "get shits done", is it really better in america, in canada or in Europe, than it is in other parts of the country?
we still talk sometimes, but he injects it into everything he can't stop
Last Canadian election was the most useless in history (over 338 seats, less than 10 had changed)
"this is art"
Seems like pretty flimsy cover when it comes to an event where people actually died. I don't think this was even the only noose which was hung outside of the capitol building, either.
