Enslave the 49.9%

Post by Impenitent »

"we" voted

you will do as "we" say

faith in ballot boxes? vote counters?

faith in the judgement of the below average?

but it's "democratic"- it must be double plus good

Defining a Constitutional Republic
https://www.usconstitution.net/republic-vs-democracy/
The United States operates as a constitutional republic, a form of government that involves representatives elected by the people, who execute their duties under the constraints of a prevailing constitution that specifies the powers and limits of government.

One fundamental principle of a constitutional republic is the protection of minority rights against the potential tyranny of the majority. This design counters direct democracy, where majority rules could potentially ride roughshod over minority interests. The U.S. Constitution outlines various checks and balances intended to prevent any single branch of government from gaining absolute power, thereby protecting individual rights from being infringed upon by majority vote.

For non-citizens in Silicon Valley, Slavery means Indentured Servitude.

Indentured servants floated over on the Mayflower with the Pilgrims. The institution was popular enough to drop the pretense and become outright slavery.

Slave owners in the South said, "Slaves do the work that Americans won't do. Without them, we can't bring in the crops."

That sounds familiar. Everything old is new again.

The slave owners were like the Democrats of today, The Masters of Indentured Servants, who are still saying the same thing.
(They call it capitalism, but it's actually the Democrat attitude about capitalism that includes slavery).

Leopards can't change their philosophical spots.

Well, we're a nation under Trump now. So I guess we'll see what happens. More "boots on the ground" for a "regime change" in Iran? Is that what we should want?

What a crock of shit. If Democrats let brown people in from Mexico to pick fruit, they're morally equivalent to slavers. Sure.
