๐งต THREAD: You've heard the phrase "OUR DEMOCRACY" a million times. But what exactly is "OUR DEMOCRACY"? ๐ค
When they say "democracy," they don't mean a republic. They don't mean consent of the governed. They don't mean your right to choose your own leaders.
They mean a system where "institutions" - NGOs, multilaterals, the permanent bureaucracy - advance a set of values they consider settled: equality, social justice, cosmopolitanism, global governance. These values aren't proposals to be voted on. They're treated as moral prerequisites that must be true *before* your vote counts.
Despite what they say, they aren't for checks and balances. Checks and balances limit what government can do to you. This limits what you can do to *them*. The brakes are on accountability, not power. The institutions that set the boundaries of acceptable policy have put themselves beyond the reach of the electorate, and they call that arrangement "democracy."
Trump has been an existential threat to this system since the moment he said "drain the swamp" ... because the swamp IS the system. When he threatened those institutions, he didn't threaten the republic. He threatened their immunity from it.
And they said so. On camera. At their own events. In their own words.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread.๐
BREAKING:
Ursula von der Leyen just announced a Europe without America.
"Nostalgia is part of our human history. But this will not bring the old order."
"We will build a new independent Europe."
- Germany's Chancellor already called the EU a failure.
- JD Vance said Europe's biggest threat is Europe itself.
- Poland vetoed EU censorship laws.
Now von der Leyen is talking about independence from the transatlantic alliance entirely.
While America passes the CLARITY Act.
While America attracts global capital.
Europe is talking about going it alone.
The timing could not be worse.
Maybe we don't have a public school funding problem ...
Maybe we have too many administrative staff?
Clearly adding more admin staff hasn't improved the numbers, so maybe go back to the 1960s ratio.
Mayor Michelle Wu goes after the Trump admin,
"They would rather remodel the White House ballroom than fund the gender-affirming healthcare that saves young people's lives."
๐จ HOLY CRAP! NYC Mayor Mamdani has totally SURRENDERED the streets to thugs
This is what a 3rd world nation looks like!
The communist does not care about keeping his people safe. Total war zone. He should RESIGN.
Inevitable. We need to make them obsolete or take them militarily. There's zero chance this isn't being considered. Trump hints at this by focusing on this hemisphere. The best approach is to expand deterrence, which makes the problems of Canada and Greenland easier to solve. Then France, Spain, and the UK are obsolete. We regroup with Germany and the Eastern Bloc, South and Central America, fresh out of communist rule, dictatorship, or socialism, and loving free democracy. Culturally, their sense of logic matches our own anyway.
@gottlieb_c13952@Write4Republic I see Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Austria pulling out of the EU and NATO, leaving France, the UK, and Spain. I don't see the UK and France being able to reverse course on feminist socialism -> quasi-communism. One generation.
I think the EU and the UK are full feminist socialism and can't turn back. NATO is really a US defense treaty with a now socialist EU. I think Germany will pull out of both. Hungary, Poland, Bolvaria, Austriaโฆ
The irony is so will Ukraine.
Ungrateful Muslim migrants in Germany openly say they hate the country and support Hamas. If they reject Germany and its culture, send them to Gaza instead of letting them drain German taxpayers.
