The Bill of Rights Is the Ultimate threat to ‘Democracy’? – Let’s Hope So
Former U.S. President Donald Trump and the Democrats keep accusing each other of being “threats to Democracy.”
The real issue, however, is the left’s deliberate distortion of the meaning of the word “Democracy.” To some people, Democracy means a free country where democratic elections are held.
To others, “Democracy” means your rights can be voted in (or out) by a simple majority.
Clearly, we can’t be (or have) both.
Either your individual rights supersede the majority — or the majority can take away your rights.
If 51% of the voting public decides your freedom of speech should be curtailed — then that’s a Democracy.
If your right to freedom of speech is violated, and the U.S. Supreme Court says you can’t have your rights abridged because of the First Amendment — then you’re living in a Democratic Republic.
America was designed to be a Republic, which it still is, not a Democracy.
