Obama’s Idea of ‘Democracy’

 Judging from the sentiments expressed in that communiqué, the former president is either still unaware that America is a constitutional republic or is unequivocally invested in incrementally imposing majority rule upon a defenseless minority by issuing warnings that "Democracy" is in peril.

The key difference between a democracy and a republic lies in the limits placed on government by the law, which has implications for minority rights.

Big Government Barack has spent the last 20 years trying to promote America as a "True democracy" as well as to dictate to us our best and worst angels.

The "Democracy" progressives like Obama favor requires a political system that justifies the exercise of power by some, over others, which is not how our Constitutional Republic was designed to work.

In truth, the "Democracy" currently being foisted on Americans is just a courteous name for the Left being given carte blanche to sanction mob rule.

Who is better at inspiring a mob to enforce rules than the 44th president of the United States? Sadly, our nation has slowly become comfortable with "Pure democracy" because "The exercise of power of one person over another [is now] justified by reference to the protection of the interests or rights of the person over whom power is exercised." What has not yet been specified, if not dictated by the Constitution, in any given situation, who or what gets to decide what protecting "The interests or rights of the person over whom power is exercised" entails? The contradiction is that while fairness is preached, individual autonomy is rendered dangerous.

Even the slightest disagreement with Barry's vision of how the 'world, not as it is, but as he would like it to be' has resulted in labeling patriotic citizens, threats to "Democracy." While contributing to the climate that made prosecuting, jailing, and "Demonizing political opponents" acceptable, Obama feigns concern for all Americans by making disingenuous statements like, "This increasing habit of demonizing political opponents creates a dangerous climate." In addition to demonizing the Second Amendment, during his tenure, the former president was not a friend of free speech.

Obama's calculated "Threat to democracy" effort is succeeding because seeds of suspicion have been planted so deeply in America's psyche that, in some circles, free speech and the right to bear arms are now viewed as menacing.

Recently, at a Biden 2024 campaign stop in Philadelphia, the former president again pushed his idea of "Democracy" to the fore by suggesting to gushing sycophants that "When true democracy goes away, people get hurt. It has real consequences." To date, Obama has not yet defined what he believes "True democracy" to be, nor has he clarified what those "Real consequences" actually are.

What's suspect is that Barack never discloses how the "True democracy" he continually nudges Americans toward will eventually be accomplished, nor has he let on whether or not the end goal is to substitute the protections of our founding document with a mob controlled by a cunning Marxist leader.

If democratic ideals were truly of concern to those warning America that "Democracy" is in peril, why would Barack Obama, and now Joe Biden, institute policies unpopular with the majority by repeatedly circumventing established governing bodies that represent the people they claim they're fighting for? If the former president's idea of fairness involves stirring up the majority to intimidate and eventually eradicate the beliefs and desires of the minority, shielding Americans from that kind of threat is the reason why our Founders decided to institute a constitutional republic in the first place.
