   @1ns0mniak @ChristiJunior @Senator_Armstrong @Gustodon That's the thing, we don't have mob rule. What we have is very top down, it's very authoritarian, and frankly we're seeing the bad side of authoritarianism because we're seeing what happens when the authority is evil. If we had mob rule, parents who don't want their children learning to be trannies would just be getting their way outright. We'd be having a moral panic over this, accusing people who aren't trannies of being trannies in the closet because they come off as a little effete sometimes, and blah blah blah.
   
   You can't just label an autocratic Judeo-Communist dictatorship a "democracy" and expect people to take it seriously. It isn't a democracy if the elections are rigged. It's not a monarchy if the monarch has no direct policymaking power. It's not a junta if the military is "underfunded." And so on. To qualify as something, you need to actually fit the bill.
   
   What we have in America today is what I just described it as. You might also want to call it wokeism or something if you want to avoid the JQ in its naming. But the point is just because they call it Our Democracy doesn't actually make it a democracy. It's a mental trick to get you to think that it's either automatically legitimate because they call it a democracy (if you're a hylic), or to think that democracies in general aren't legitimate because they called this illegitimate thing a democracy (if you're a psychic)
