Democracy is a Silly (and Evil) Lie

2106

Why is it that authoritarian collectivist states regularly use the word “democracy” to describe themselves? As for example the German Democratic Republic (DDR), aka the former East Germany. Or this country, in which we hear endlessly about how very democratic it is. Never mind (to cite one recent example) the way Kamala Harris was simply decreed to be the Democratic Party’s nominee for president. Such things ought to suggest something about what “democracy” actually is – as opposed to what some try to get you to believe that it is.

Even more telling is that wherever you hear the most about “democracy,” there’s very little of it in practice.

People are told by the authoritarian collectivists of both political parties in this country that America is a “democracy” and that “democracy” is the ideal and that it must be preserved. Well, to begin with, “democracy” was considered almost a curse word by the generation of men who produced the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution, with its Bill of Rights. They despised “democracy” because in theory it is majority rule, which works out to mob rule, in practice. The majority/mob is empowered to do anything it decides to do to the individual, who therefore has no rights that cannot simply be voted away. In practice, “majority rule” is really minority rule, because it is always a minority that insists its represents the majority by a kind of ineffable and open-ended proxy power.

This is the inherent tyranny that is “democracy.”

Consider how “democracy” operates in this country. The masses are allowed to vote – for either of two supposed representatives chosen by a minority (i.e., the people who control the apparatus of the political party, who are inevitably the very rich and so by definition an even smaller minority). The almost-never-touched-on fallacy of “democracy” is that by a process of political osmosis, a man (or woman) “of the people” spontaneously percolates upward to “represent” the “will” of “the people.” In fact what happens is the power brokers who control the party apparatus select their candidate for office, who is then put forward as if “the people” had selected this person. It is something like the belief many people have that there is variety at the supermarket when in fact almost everything they see on the shelves is produced by a small handful of industrial food cartels that own various brands and market them as if they were the product of independent producers.

“The people” then get to pick which authoritarian collectivist that was chosen for them by a tiny minority (in most cases, just a handful of powerful men and women who are the key players within the party apparatus) will “represent” them, which has a very “democratic” sounding feel – which is why it sells so effectively. The idea of being represented sounds good to most people. Many probably associate political “representation” with legal representation; i.e., when a lawyer represents a person in court. There is however an important difference in that when you hire a representative such as a lawyer, he is your employee. He works for you. If he does not do what you ask of him – if he does things you did not ask him to do – you are at liberty to fire him and you may even be able to get some of your money back.

People in “democracies” are conditioned (via government schools and corporate propaganda) to believe that political “representation” is a similar thing or even the same thing, essentially. That “representatives” are also employees who can also be fired. That they work for us – the stupid (the pathetic) cry of a person attempting to argue with a cop. In fact, we work for them – in that we are compelled to pay for their so-called “services,” in the case of both the politician in a “democracy” as well as the cops who enforce “democracy.” The so-called “representative” is at liberty to do whatever he decides to do, irrespective of the specific wishes of any particular voter or even the majority of those who voted for him. An excellent example to make the point is the current president of the United States, who was elected chiefly because those who voted for him believed him when he told them he would not start any new wars. Well, now what? The “democratically” elected president autocratically did whatever he wanted to do – in defiance of the “will of the people.”

So, “democracy” is something worse than the old saying about three wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner. It is worse because the sheep goes along with this – because he has been conditioned to believe in this. He believes his vote counts. He believes if he votes harder next time, maybe he won’t be for dinner.

Those powdered wig men of 250 years ago understood what “democracy” was and did their best to constrain it. Two hundred-fifty years later, it is unbound, chiefly because probably nine-out-of-ten Americans believe they think they know what “democracy” is – and that’s why they’ve been getting it, good and hard.

  1. So, I wonder, what do you all do for, The Fourth?

    Myself, I usually BBQ for those I love.
    Watch the neighbors fireworks As If they signified rebellion & eff U. (Which, they often seem to be, I hope)

    And, always keeping in the back of my mind stuff like Will Grigg would write about: “– the stupid (the pathetic) cry of a person attempting to argue with a cop.”

    “They” are either – with us – or, against us.

    The car title transfer was – only – $620. …For what?

    Permission?

  2. In Ohio, there is a petition campaign to abolish property taxes: axohtax.com

    Sadly, it’s amazing how many apologists there are for property taxes. “How will we pay for the schools, roads, police, fire, etc.?” And, “At least with property taxes, we get to vote on them.”

    More precisely, they get to vote on whether to force their neighbors to pay taxes they might not be able to afford. Too bad it isn’t a system where those who vote in favor of the taxes are the only ones who have to pay. Those who vote “no” wouldn’t have to pay.

    And, why bother with voting on levies at all? Let those who want to pay for the schools, cops, etc. voluntarily donate their money to these entities. Funny how that never happens. The statists only want to force everyone to pay.

    • Hi SLH,

      When I hear, “How will we pay for the schools, roads, police, fire, etc.?” My reply is: Why don’t you (and others who want these “services”) pay for them, then?

      Maybe I ought to ask: How will “we”pay for the extra garage I need for my bikes and old cars?

      Parasites are bad. Parasites with guns are much worse.

    • We live in a “Demonicracy” today…pedophiles and Satanists control our Government and our money.

      Return to the constitutional standard, and repeal idiot stuff like the 19th amendment.

      It’ll gets fixed in a generation…

    • RE: “In Ohio, there is a petition campaign to abolish property taxes:”

      It’s going to go down in flames just like in one of the Dakotas last year.

      Which is so damn sad. …People /American’t’s Love their servitude. /Slavery.

      inexplicable

  3. ‘Note that democracy is no guarantee of political liberty. The ancient Athenians are said to have invented democracy, and what they produced was a totally repulsive place to live.

    They developed into a nation of snitches in which everyone was invited to tattle on his neighbor.

    All such personal matters as how you dressed, ate, drank and slept could be regulated by a quick and simple majority vote. Believe me, you would not want to live there.

    The Athenians are only the first example. In this last election, our native state of Arizona conducted a referendum on the subject of cock fighting. A majority of voters decided to prohibit cock fighting – in purely democratic fashion.

    So here we have majority rule triumphing over the cultural tradition of a minority. A majority – mainly Anglos – stamped upon the recreational customs of a minority – mainly Latinos – for no other reason except what must be termed whimsical distaste.

    If a majority can ban cock fighting (which in no way infringes upon the rights of other people) this would establish a precedent for prohibiting, for example, trout fishing. This referendum was pure democracy and it measurably set back liberty.

    Liberty and democracy are not the same, and they often actually confound each other.’

    — Jeff Cooper, December, 1998

    • The ancient Athenians owned slaves, Slaves did not have the right to vote.
      Athenian “democracy” is a sham.
      “We, the people”, must include everyone. Otherwise, it is bullshit.

    • Good observation: “this would establish a precedent for prohibiting, for example, trout fishing.”

      …Or, gardening.
      Or, collecting rain water. (oh, wait)
      Or, walking on a beach.
      Or, walking with a dog,… or cat.
      (prolly more, oh waits, about the aboves)
      Or, talking to someone.
      Or, thinking.
      Or, giving birth.
      Or, living too long.

      Monsters.

  4. An observation about judicial elections in Ohio, at least in my county, a suburb of Cleveland:

    For the local courts, municipal and common pleas levels, there is only competition if there is an open seat. Once a judge wins an election, almost no one ever runs against them. I think I observed a challenger to an incumbent judge only once over many years. So once they are in, they are in until they die, decide to step down, or are prevented from running for re-election by age limits (70 is the max). These judges run for re-election with no opposition. There must be an unwritten rule: Thou shalt not run against a sitting judge. It’s like the elections in the Soviet Union: there is only one candidate.

    However, there is vigorous competition in the appellate courts. There are no safe seats there. Often the candidates for the Courts of Appeals are attorneys with no judicial experience. For the Ohio Supreme Court, there is likewise a lot of competition, but those candidates are usually judges from lower courts.

  5. “it was a string of syllables, robotically recited under duress, ”

    I think there was a joke about who’s Richard Stans. The corruption of the phrase “for which it stands.”

  6. Here’s the thing most don’t know about the history of democracy: If it didn’t work in Athens, which had a population of maybe 300k with a rough total of 60k “voters” how could anyone possibly think it would work with a population 1000 times larger? Democracy is nothing but an illusion of sovereignty, a false representation that instills a sense of choice amongst a subdued and deluded population. I’m 46 years old and every election is the same thing, people continue to believe that voting harder will result in some type of change but the only change that happens is things get worse and worse, have never once seen an election result in anything but more and more taxes being levied upon us. I’m in the middle of my yearly rereading of Atlas Shrugged and each time I read this novel the more convinced I am of Rand being a prophet of these times, everything she wrote about is coming to fruition.

    • Amen, Dr. Gonzo –

      Also, my understanding of the Athenian democracy was that a man could decide he wanted no part of what was voted by the majority – and was free to leave. We are not free to leave, of course. The got-damned state will demand its pound of flesh as the price of allowing anyone to leave.

  7. “The “democratically” elected president autocratically did whatever he wanted to do – in defiance of the “will of the people.”

    Correction: “The “democratically” elected president does whatever he is ORDERED to do by the “elite”– in defiance of the “will of the people.”

    Thing is, as I’ve said numerous times, most people just want everyone else to take care of them. And since ENVY is part of human nature, the majority will ALWAYS want a ruler, who promises to take what someone else has, and give it to them…BY FORCE. Doesn’t matter if we ALL suffer in the process. As long as that person never has to lift a finger to obtain anything, then as far as that person is concerned, they “won”.

    • Yah, for many, you’re correct: “then as far as that person is concerned, they “won”.”

      …I don’t really understand the mentality of that.
      The same way I don’t understand the mentality of a sociopath or a psychopath.

      “The wish for socialism is a wish for unparalleled human evil. If we really understood this, no one would express casual support for it in polite company.”

  8. It’s really very simple.
    “Democracy” is jewish mob rule.

    Nobody wants any of that.

    Anyone you see chirping about “democracy” is NOT your friend.

  9. All true, Eric.
    But there’s much, much more to ‘democracy’ than just what you mention, although again mostly negative.
    If you like reading books, ‘Democracy, the God that Failed’ by Hans-Hermann Hoppe is a must on this topic.
    It can be downloaded as a e-book from Amazon, but the $32 they want for it is outrageously expensive, given that you can easily find it elsewhere for free.

    • Thanks, John –

      And, yes, I’ve read Hoppe. I recommend him also. There are so many worthwhile books; I always buy hard cover – because I wan to physically own them and be able to pass them down – as some were passed down to me.

  10. Active political parties in European countries are like this:

    Democratic Socialist Party (zionist communists),
    Socialist Democratic Party (more zionist communists),
    Socialist Workers Democratic Party (even more zionist communists),
    Green Party (homosexual masochist zionist communists and bestiality fetistists)
    Democratic Social Equity Labour Party (gay diversity zionist communists, leadership is entirely homosexual pedophiles),
    Alternative fur Wherever (started out as a legitimate right wing party, but the real leadership was put in prison without trial and replaced by the government with new leaders who are are gay diversity zionist communists).

    Everything to the right of Marx is literally banned in Europe, and its leadership imprisoned. Democracy!

    The only legitimate alternative for these places is a bloody revolution, followed by a ruthless fascist junta. There is no politicial solution. Their entire political class needs to be liquidated.

    America isn’t much different, but effectively only has two political parties (both of which, inexplicably, share the same core policies, the same jewish blackmailers, and the same jewish financial donors).

  11. There are huge problems with Democracy and voting. I have never voted, I have never consented to external rule by representatives. I retain my personal authority over myself, I have NOT rented it out to some scumbag politician. No one owns me. I am not for sale. I am not the property of scumbag Jews for their heinous illegal and immoral wars.

    I refuse to pay income tax. My income is mine alone. I do not agree with what taxes are used for, like welfare – allowing cheats free living expense, for wars, for abortions, trans surgery, or money used to prop up dictatorships in foreign lands. I definitely do not want one penny going to the hell state of Jewish only Israel as they commit genocide.

    I do not want my tax money subsidizing electric car thief Elon Muskrat. I like gasoline engines, I do not want some explosive battery operated device, which has burned alive thousands of stupids who bought these damn things.

    In a Democracy, I have no voice at all. The stupids vote in whoever had the best campaign ads or had the most Jew money. These scumbag sold out political whores then decide who gets subsidized like Israel, Elon Musk, or welfare cheats. Democracy is a sham, I called the Democrats “Demon Craps” for the good reason that party is populated by weirdos who were crapped out by demons. Homos, Transexuals, Zionists, mudbrids, race mixing coal burners, abortion on demanders, free everything for slackers, free drugs for all, etc. I see them everyday, they protest everything and do nothing creative except find new ways to bitch and complain about everything.

    Democracy is a delusion that you love getting your pocket picked for the worst people in our society. I think we have a very “democratic” future, I see the democrats, socialists, and communists winning bigly in our future. Ai will take all the remaining jobs, so the entire class under Age 40 will vote to redistribute wealth or they will have nothing – no job, no car, no home.

  12. As Libertarians, whether it’s a Democracy or some other title doesn’t matter, it’s the state itself. Our real enemy is the State and the religions which support it.

    Our Enemy, the State by Albert Jay Nock, originally published in 1935, is a seminal text in American libertarian and anti-statist thought. The book provides a critical analysis of government growth, arguing that the expansion of the State always occurs at the expense of “Social Power”. Nock’s thesis traces the historical evolution of governance, arguing that the State originated through conquest and exploitation rather than a voluntary social contract, and he ultimately views state power as a parasitic force that fundamentally degrades human liberty and societal prosperity.

    Nock bases his philosophy on a fundamental dichotomy, largely inspired by the sociologist Franz Oppenheimer:

    Social Power: This represents the natural, productive energy of society. It encompasses voluntary cooperation, free exchange, and the creative efforts of individuals building civilization, culture, and wealth.

    State Power: This is the coercive apparatus. Rather than producing anything, the State uses legal force and confiscation to appropriate the wealth generated by Social Power.

    Nock notes that the State essentially creates two classes: “taxpayers” and “tax-eaters”.

    The True Origins of the State

    Nock disputes the conventional belief that the State was formed to protect the rights and property of its citizens. Instead, he adopts the “conquest theory”:

    Throughout history, states have originated when a conquering group subjugates a weaker, productive group.The primary function of the State, from its inception, has been to maintain this economic exploitation, ensuring that one class can live off the labor of another without producing anything of value itself.

    ——————

    I have a different view on the origin of state, it is from religion. Carefully note that modern states, like Iran, have been theocratic authoritarian backwater fundamentalist repressive regimes all along only morphing toward secularism in the face of overwhelming military aggression. Iran has been forced secular because of the wars we wage on them.

    Note how authoritarian states and the dominant religion of the culture are one in the same in many cases. The priest invents the external god meme, this all powerful external entity, which (is asserted) created all, wants your obedience with the priestly class as the mediators.

    The priests decided disputes in courts they created. The educated priests did not have to toil in the fields like the illiterate peasants. They managed the rabble with myth. Religion became the all powerful tool of state to keep the goy subdued with fear of god. Later, when the theocracy morphed into the state, the court cleric became the court clerk.

    The earliest central bank was the church coffers. Solomon’s temple sacked by Titus contained hoardes of gold coins, which was brought back to Rome to build the Arch of Titus and Colosseum.

    I explain in some detail why the Holy Bible is a colossal mind fuck:

  13. 1964 US Supreme Court destroyed your state ‘republic form of government’, Reynolds v. Sims turned your state senate into just an extension of the representatives. Both bodies are via population count due to this, where it should be state government senators are by county (or parish). Now the county with the the big city rules your entire state as there is no check & balance on the state government mob rule. See WA and OR as prime examples.

    Here in WA whatever King County (Seattle) wants, the rest of the state is powerless to stop. We have the citizen initiative process but by some miracle one gets passed the state Supreme Court will magically find a reason to nullify. There is a D majority both reps and senate here, plus 40 years and counting D governor.

    • Agree, the case was one of the worst Supreme Court decisions ever, requiring a “1 person, 1 vote” standard in every state. Awful. Rural counties with large land masses were thrown under the bus. Now, like you pointed out, one or two large cities completely dominate the state. Even in California, LA and SF bay area values are imposed on the rest of the state. It should have been left to the states to decide if they want 1 person, 1 vote or 1 county, 1 vote. The liberal Warren Court knew what it was creating when it handed down the decision.

      • Oregon is in a similar situation. The state is overwhelmingly RED, but a tiny section (Multnomah County, home of Portland, along with a few BLUE counties) tends to dictate the direction of the ENTIRE state. And they have the gall to lecture everyone else on Demooooooocracy.

  14. I’ve often found it strange that if you can only vote for one guy, as was done with Saddam Hussein (you could vote to “approve” or “disapprove” of his leadership), it’s tyranny.

    When you can only choose between two people, suddenly THAT’S a democracy. Go figure.

    Only those subjects that involve (voluntarily) shared resources should be up for a vote. Thus, there is much that should not. Many proponents of democracy would put your ability to have or do anything up for a vote, making existence a Hell on Earth. No thanks. Keep your votes to yourself.

  15. At 15 I got my first ‘official’ (summer) job. First paycheck was shocked to see money missing. When I asked, the boss told me “it’s income tax,” which I’d never heard of.
    I said “You mean the government can just take my money?”
    Boss said “Yup.”
    When I got older, I started wondering who actually voted for that. Ditto a long line of governments and legislation.
    Haven’t voted for a couple decades now. No one has ever represented me in the halls of power.

  16. How about the audacity of them using the imposition of “democracy” as if to do so is a valid excuse to topple the governments of other nations and invade them? Makes me sick every time I hear some Democrat or Republican crook say “We have to make _____ safe for democracy”. So, we are supposed to believe that it’s evil for some other country to invade another nation to impose their brand of government on that nation….but if WE impose our style of tyranny, then what we do is somehow philanthropic and wonderful! And for ‘some reason’ it seems we are only concerned with imposing this ‘beneficent’ tyranny on countries which possess abundant oil, or which reject our petro-dollar, or wgich stand in the way of Is-ra-hell’s plans….
    The REAL definition of democracy should be: “A ritual in which residents of a political territory are fooled into supporting tyrants by being given the illusion of choice and the prospect of having their own will imposed other residents of that territory, thus making all participants in that ritual feel as if they have a say in the actual conduct of the tyrants, while at the same time making them complicit in the administration and perpetuation of the tyranny”.

  17. Well, they do call it “representative” democracy now, to subtly explain why you won’t be getting your way, ever. You vote for who, among the pre-selected, and that is the end of your part. They’ll “represent” you, you don’t worry about it. I know how it looks, but it’s a matter of national security. It’s for the greater good. The sickness means it’s working.
    Besides, as a matter of practice, a pimp/master can never, ever, ever, ever be seen to be letting a slave get their way. Saying no, especially when the request is sensible, re-affirms the balance of power, and first and foremost, the slave must understand that they are a slave.

  18. Well, as has been said long ago; A Democracy quickly becomes a Mobocracy.

    I wish it weren’t so but then again how come no calls it a Representative Republic anymore?

  19. You’re right about the “three wolves and a sheep voting ..” but what we have now is 435 different poker games, one for each senator and representative. Each and every one of those “games” may have one or more multi-millionaires (or billionairs) sitting-in with any number of peasant voters. Whenever to rich guys’ desires conflict with those of the majority peasants, they just raise the stakes (or go “all-in”) above the means of the peasants. And nobody has ever successfully argued that money doesn’t “influence” the outcome of every election.

  20. Meanwhile … guess who’s hanging out at the beach together in Costa Rica?

    MTG and Thomas Massie:

    https://tinyurl.com/mshh8247

    Hope springs eternal. Maybe I’d consider voting for them if they start a third party. But never again will I vote Democrat communist or Party of Lincoln Israel. I’m done with those traitors.

    • Unfortunately both of them and their families would probably be SAFER staying in Costa Rica than coming back to the USSA. That is the unfortunate reality of living in an occupied country, ruled by a hostile foreign entity with genocidal intent. IsraHELL has proven they have no problem killing someone for wrongthink.

      Unlike most politicians, I do wish Massie and MTG long and healthy lives….

  21. Another example of the sham that is Demooooooocracy in this country would be the way the Democratic Party handled their primaries for 3 presidential primaries in a row (perhaps even MORE than that). In 2016, Democrat voters were ENTHUSIASTIC about Bernie Sanders when he sought the Democratic Party nomination for president despite being an Independent, but the Democratic Party establishment rigged their own primaries to make sure that Hillary Clinton became the D nominee instead. Sanders tried running again in 2020, but the D Party rigged their own primaries AGAIN so Joe Biden became the nominee instead. Fast forward to the 2024 campaign, when there were Democrats (RFK Jr, Marianne Williamson, Dean Phillips) challenging Joe Biden for the nomination, and the Democrat party didn’t even bother with primaries and crowned Biden their nominee until it became too obvious Biden was NOWHERE near as “Fit to be president” as they wanted people to belieeeeeeeeeeve and they coronated Kamala Harris as presidential nominee. And yet, there are people who STILL belieeeeeeeeeeve that the Democratic Party is “Fighting for Demooooooocracy against authoritarian fascism from Trump”, and that putting Democrats back in power will fix everything, despite the fact that we already had 2 Democrat presidents just this century, and millions of Americans have ended up WORSE OFF after their terms.

    • Amen, John –

      The way Harris was literally just foisted on the Democrats is an even better example of “democracy” than Trump’s betrayal of it. I added something about this to the article; hat tip, sir!

      • What’s telling is that too many Democrat voters didn’t even say SQUAT about it. Not only that, but when Kamala Harris ran for president the first time in 2020, she wasn’t even that popular with DEMOCRAT voters. When she was Vice president under “President” Joe Biden, she was also the most unpopular VP in decades, and yet, after Biden was effectively forced out of running for a 2nd term, a narrative was concocted that Harris all of a sudden became a POPULAR presidential candidate, and her pick of Tim Walz to be her running mate made people “happy”.

        But I read on Martin Armstrong’s website at the time that during COVID, as Minnesota governor, Walz had some of the MOST DRACONIAN diktats (in the name of “Stopping COVID”) in the entire country, such as mandates for adults and children to take that experimental COVID jab that was not and still is NOT “Safe and Effective!” The only people who might have been “happy” at the prospect of Tim Walz becoming VP might have been those who’ve subscribed to the whole COVID nonsense (MANDATORY face diapers and vaxxes for all, Fauci is a Public Health Saint, social distancing, etc.) like it’s a secular religion.

        • Walz thinks he’s clever and funny. He actually had national guard running around Minneapolis/St Paul shooting (paintballs) at people out on their porches. Had that stunt been tried in a more rural area some folks would have shot back.

          • Walz also had a snitch number that people could call to report neighbors who weren’t “Following common sense COVID diktats” (my words).

    • Well now, the Democrats are not even bothering to hide the fact that they are full-on Communist lovers. I do not know what is worse, them coming right out and admitting what we have known for years. Or, the fact that Americans passively keep re-electing them? We may end up worse off under Trump, but slower (boiling the frog slowly), due to people going back to sleep once a so-called “Republican” is elected to Office.

      • Hi Shadow,

        There are people I know who blame Trump for ALL the problems we’ve been facing the past few years, but the government corruption, the “Security/ Surveillance state”, the endless wars, the MASSIVE debt, economic problems, etc., can be traced back to prior presidents/ administrations, be it Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W Bush, Bill Clinton, etc., or perhaps even all the way back to presidents in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

        • Hi John,
          I think Harris got 3% in that primary in California, her home state; guess they already knew she was useless. Yet I’ve seen murmuring that the DNC is going to put her forward as a candidate for 2028! Are you effing kidding me! Some people never learn, can’t fix stupid.

          • Hi Mike,

            There was a narrative concocted that Kamala Harris was a POPULAR presidential candidate despite being VERY UNPOPULAR as then Vice president, and there were people who bought the narrative hook, line, and sinker. If the Democratic Party establishment does try to put her forward as a candidate in 2028, will they try to portray Harris as another Hillary Clinton who SHOULD have been president but a foreign country or billionaires STOLE the 2024 election for Donald Trump!?

            As for the narrative of Kamala Harris being popular when she ran for president in 2024, how the F*** does someone go from being an UNPOPULAR Vice president to magically being a POPULAR presidential candidate, especially when she’s said in interviews that she couldn’t think of a single thing she’d have done differently if she were president instead of Joe Biden. (Not even forcing millions of Americans to take an experimental COVID vaxx to keep a job, which Biden actually TRIED to do once upon a time. Or giving BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to Keeeeeeeeeeev while Americans were suffering at home)

      • Remember the Democratic Party is the “scientific party.” The party of the medical professional, the educator and the bureaucracy. The party that pretends all artistic endeavors are equally beautiful. The party that promised “you can be anything you set your mind to” because they suffer from intense imposter syndrome.

        It’s no wonder that they’re the true believers. The Science™ backs them up. Only the wise hand of communist dictators at the wheel can lead us to Utopia. When The Science™ tells them to poison their patients in order to save them, that’s exactly what they do. When The Science™ tells them humans are capable of overheating the Earth, that’s what they believe. When The Science™ tells them the inevitability of Communism, then it is settled.

        Besides, they believe they’ll be in charge.

        • Here are some more examples of The Science™️ to the Democratic Party…

          Vaccines (ALL vaccines, not just the COVID vaxxes) are Safe and Effective!
          Forcing people to drive EVs and eat frankenfood made in a lab will “Stop cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimate change”.
          Forcing people to take experimental pharma products will “Protect public health”/ “Stop the _______ pandemic!”
          Republicans support Authoritarian fascism and Democrats support Demooooooocracy.
          Carbon footprint trackers/ carbon taxes will “Saaaaaaaaaave the planet from cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimate change”.
          Etc., etc., etc.

          • Do not forget those who ranted, “It’s your fault I got sick from the shot”! You should have warned me”. Where is an eye rolling face when I need it?

            • Oh yes, that too, despite the fact that THEY accused those who TRIED to warn people about the COVID vaxxes of “Spreading dangerous disinformation”. I’ve even seen some of them post on social media blatant virtue signaling messages like “Disinformation is Deadly. Vaccines Save Lives!”

          • The credentialed class also believes they’re the good guys. “It’s for your own good,” they shout as they extract your wealth and give it to others (while taking the majority of it as vig for themselves).

    • Look to CA for a current example of fishy voting.

      CA had a primary election recently, and here, the top two vote getters in a primary, independent of party, advance to the final election in November.

      We have this funny system because it was a way to completely exclude republicans, since in most races, we and up having two democrats during the final election.

      Early in the process, when Eric Swalwell, the frontrunner, dropped out, it looked like two republicans might advance to the final election. Gavin Newsom went so far as to publicly say that this won’t happen, his exact quote:

      “There is a break the glass scenario, and I—there’s many people that have a deep understanding of what it would look like if Democrats were locked out, and we’re gonna do everything to make sure that doesn’t happen. I’ll leave it at that.”

      As it stands, Steve Hilton, was initially the front runner, but since, Xavier Becerra (typical democrat establishment organ) has pulled ahead. It will be another MONTH before the counting is done, by the end of which, the two “correct” candidates will advance to the final election.

      • Oh yes, in the name of Demooooooocracy, the 2 candidates for California Governor might be DEMOCRATS…1 who was effectively a shill for Big Pharma when he was Joe Biden’s HHS Secretary, and a billionaire who likely made TONS of money off of the grift known as cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimate change, and yet people who once called themselves “Bernie Bros.” are supporting the billionaire. Candidates who are not of either major political party are shut out, because Demooooooocracy.

        • Whichever Democrat wins, we know it’ll be the same; more taxes, more “helping” the poor and illegal, while taking more from productive people. It’s all the same.

          Hilton, the Republican endorsed by Trump, says good words (lower taxes to 7.5%, lower spending, no income tax on anything below $100k, etc). However, we know how it goes when Republicans get elected, particularly Trumpian ones.

          • Hi OL,

            It seems all the Democrat candidates running for California Governor have to do is blame Trump for ALL the problems in California and say they’ll “Resist Trump”, and many Democrat voters will EAT IT UP as TRUTH and vote for them accordingly.

            • Oh yeah. Becerra’s entire platform is that he’s anti-Trump and that he’s sued him. Steyer didn’t go down that path as strongly, and he has mentioned that some reforms are needed, but he’s a typical rich leftist economically.

              • Oregon also has a gubernatorial election this year, and its Queen, er, governor, Tina Kotek is running for a 2nd term on “I’ll Resist Trump!”

                Oregon, like California, has been under one party DEMOCRAT rule for years, and yet, BOTH states are going down the $#!+ Hole, and yet, there are people who’ll STILL vote Democrat on the nonsensical basis they’re morally superior to everyone else who doesn’t reflexively vote for whichever candidate for office has a “D” next to their name.

                • Did you see, John, where there is a proposal that Oregon gathered enough signatures for? That is, the banning of all hunting!

                  • Yes I did Shadow. That bill sounds like it was written by militant vegans who want to FORCE people to become vegans themselves, or by billionaires who want to FORCE the masses to eat frankenfood instead of REAL FOOD like meat. The measure is framed as “Protecting animals”, and many people who signed the petition to put it on the ballot likely signed it on that basis.

  22. ‘There’s very little of it [democracy] in practice.’ — eric

    An example is unspooling as we speak. Somewhat surprisingly, the butcher Netanyahu recently announced that Israel will not seek renewal of the ten-year MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) signed by Barky Obama on his way out the door in 2016, committing $3.8 billion a year to the little apartheid colony for fiscal years 2019 to 2028.

    That’s strange, I thought. Why would a parasitic client state voluntarily give up free money, extracted from us?

    Now the answer is emerging into view, in the draft NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) for FY 2027. Blogger ‘b’ at Moon of Alabama:

    ‘Section 224 [of the NDAA] would require the US defence secretary to appoint an “executive agent”: a single official to coordinate military cooperation between the US and Israel. That work would cover joint R&D, shared production of weapons, and the linking of military systems and data.

    ‘In future the Pentagon will have to spend, by law, a part of its budget on purchases from Israel. Given the $1.5 trillion war budget proposed by Trump, the profits from such an alliance for Israel will be a multiple of its current stipend.’

    Wunderbar! And never presented to Clowngress, much less to the American people. It just popped fully formed out of the “Chairman’s Mark” of the NDAA, courtesy of House Armed Services Committee chair Mike Rogers (R-AL), who took $957,427 in AIPAC bribes.

    Last night the New York Times published an article stating that the Defense Intelligence Agency now considers Israel the most critical espionage risk to the US:

    ‘In 2021, Israeli military intelligence officers were caught planting listening devices at D.I.A. headquarters. Last year, officers from Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic intelligence agency, were discovered to have tried to plant a listening device in a Secret Service vehicle.’

    https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/06/us/politics/pentagon-sees-growing-espionage-threat-from-israel.html

    No matter! ‘We’ are going to go into the armaments business with a partner committed to stealing as much US technology as it can grab — and no longer needing any subsequent Congressional vote to do it. Friends, this is “democracy”! Now bend over and spread ’em.

    • “‘In 2021, Israeli military intelligence officers were caught planting listening devices at D.I.A. headquarters. Last year, officers from Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic intelligence agency, were discovered to have tried to plant a listening device in a Secret Service vehicle.’”

      Jim H, it sounds rather ham handed to me…dare I say…

    • Full details on the coming merger of the US military and the Israeli defense forces:

      https://www.unz.com/article/fusing-the-us-military-and-the-idf/

      Rep. Thomas Massie will offer an amendment to strip the treasonous Section 224 from the “must pass” NDAA. But with the bill having emerged from the House Armed Services Committee on a 44-10 vote (ten Democrats against; more of them voting for it), prospects are poor for stopping this monstrous Israeli takeover of the US military.

      America was hijacked before its 250th birthday.

  23. Not only is “democracy” less than advertised, it directly destroys any and all rights. There is nothing good about it. Like any other form of government, it’s predicated on it’s assumption of authority to kill you if you disobey.

  24. Earlier warnings by men such as Nock, Spooner and Mencken fell on deaf ears. Your writings here will be well received by most. However, the battle extends beyond the electronic pages of EPAutos. There, the booboisie will continue in their 8th grade “Civics” class delusional bromides and put their hand over their heart, pledge allegiance to Almighty GovCo and full-throatedly sing the National Fight Song as this once great Ship of State slides quietly into the murky waters of history.

      • Amen.

        It includes what is arguably the most blasphemous lyrics ever written:

        And I’m proud to be an American
        Where at least I know I’m free
        And I won’t forget the men who died
        Who gave that right to me

        You see, Rights are not “Endowed by The Creator”, they are a benefit provided by the U.S. Military. Freedom is free. It’s a gift from God and only Satanists and GovCo (or, do I repeat myself?) try to take it away.

      • Man, I hated that goddamn mandatory “Pledge of Allegiance” in the morning. Unfortunately, if any student stands up and sticks their neck out about the wrongness of it, the would be instantaneous screaming by “conservatives” that said student was some kind of “commie” or “traitor” and should be kicked out of school if not arrested. My parents certainly wouldn’t have supported me if I had done so. Instead I just had to tune it out and add it to the list of bullshit that would not endure as an adult.

        When your choices are only between 2 different flavors of evil (there is no “lesser”) you know that it was always a lie.

        • Or if you remained sitting as I did a few times, it was not to be tolerated, MetalQueen. What a strange ritual it was. I’m certain some kids didn’t even know the meaning of all the words in the “Pledge”, probably through high school. For most, it was a string of syllables, robotically recited under duress, and didn’t originate from any feelings of patriotism or allegiance.
