Why Do Trumppers pretend we are not a Democracy?

[Into the Night]

fascism is the union of corporate and government power.

Redefinition fallacy.

it's particularly pernicious because they're always trying to pretend they're in opposition when they are not.

They are in opposition.

Redefinition fallacy.

They are in opposition.

its not a redefinition. you're in denial.

they are only sometimes in opposition. many times their causes are unified.

like the military industrial complex.

quit liing.

LOL. The reality is, this entire thread is just one guy whining that sometimes he gets corrected when he tries to oversimplify things. Lawyers should know that how things are defined can turn a trial or a hearing, and I know that Jarod, like any lawyer that passed his constitutional law classes in law school, understands the difference between a Constitutional Republic and a simple democracy, but just doesn't want to be corrected or to take the time to appropriately define terms.

Have you seen the quote of the new Speaker of the House lecturing about how we "don't live in a Democracy", he is not complaining about things being oversimplified, he is justifying a lack of regard for the people as a factor in choosing our leaders. We have a very legitimate form of DEMOCRACY and there are forces here trying to significantly diminish the role of the governed in that process.

its not a redefinition. you're in denial.

Inversion fallacy. You are describing yourself. Capitalism is not fascism.

they are only sometimes in opposition. many times their causes are unified.

The are always in opposition.

like the military industrial complex.

Not fascism, dude. Capitalism.

quit liing.

I'll play Zelda games anytime I want to.

The United States was never a democracy.
For example, there is a Speaker of the House.

The speaker of the House is appointed by a democratically elected body

Democracies have no representatives.

it is the union of government and corporate power.

we can call it something else if you want.

if you want to play word games that's fine.

the corruption is undeniable though, unless you're a liar or retarded.

He is also there because he won the most votes in an election.Democracy everyplace you look,

 

[Jarod]

They want people to believe its okay for a representative to declare himself in power for life. No elections, because we are not a democracy.
