And "saving democracy" means going back to the same old dysfunctional partisan politics for and by the moneyed and privileged, and hyped and manipulated elections every 2 years giving the populace an illusion of "people power," then it will inevitably lead to another populist tyranny down the road.

2025-07-02 07:10:15 UTC

My honest thought: Democracy is the problem. Democracy created tyranny, bloated government overreach, police state, mass incarceration, state-supported oligarchy, and gave them an aura of legitimacy. Democracy does not truly represent everyone. It has been a failed social experiment.

20 years ago Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner tried to make undocumented immigrants felons, which was a catalyst for the modern immigrant rights movement.
When protesters marched waving Mexican flags, the message was diluted and gave GOP a potent imagery to incite a populist, nativist backlash.
And here goes again.
Optics and visuals mattered in 2005 and they do even more so in this age of real-time social media.
