Using the shadow docket the Republican justices are hiding and not having to defend or give any legal reasons for why they ruled as they did! Effectively gutting the voting rights act and the 14th amendment! Maga voted for this! https://t.co/5wjBFNgILn

Oh please. This reads like someone discovered the French Revolution on Wikipedia at 2am and decided democracy is basically a Marvel villain origin story.
Let’s break this down.
“If you say people are politically equal, you inevitably get mass democracy.”
That’s like saying:
“If you build a gym, eventually someone’s going to lift weights.”
Yes. That’s… the point. Political equality → people vote. That’s not a design flaw. That’s the design.
And calling “consent of the governed” a myth because it’s never been perfect is like saying love isn’t real because no marriage is flawless. An ideal doesn’t have to be perfectly achieved to be foundational. Gravity isn’t perfectly measured either. Still works.
Now the big scary claim:
“Mass democracy ALWAYS leads to forced redistribution and endless bureaucracy.”
ALWAYS? Really?
Then explain why countries like Switzerland, Norway, Canada, and Australia aren’t dystopian gulags run by bread-rationing commissars.
Democracy doesn’t automatically equal redistribution. It equals voters deciding policy. Sometimes that means social programs. Sometimes it means tax cuts. That’s called politics. The horror.
The “infinite expansion of made-up rights” line is my favorite.
You mean like:
•Abolishing slavery?
•Women voting?
•Civil rights?
•Religious freedom?
Yeah, those were once considered dangerous expansions too. Every generation’s “made-up right” is just the previous generation’s “obviously insane radical demand.”
If you went back to 1850 and said women should vote, people would say it would destroy civilization. It didn’t. Civilization somehow survived the horror of women marking ballots.
Now let’s talk about the Jacobins.
Yes, Jacobins during the Reign of Terror were brutal. But comparing that to constitutional democracies today is like saying because a plane crashed once, airplanes inevitably become missiles.
The Reign of Terror lasted about a year during revolutionary chaos.
Meanwhile, Louis XIV ruled for 72 years with:
•No elections
•No civil rights
•Censorship
•Religious persecution
•Arbitrary imprisonment
But sure — the guy who said “I am the state” was basically a chill libertarian compared to voters electing city council members.
The argument also sneaks in something funny:
It says democracy becomes more coercive than monarchies.
Under monarchies:
•You didn’t vote.
•You didn’t choose your rulers.
•You could be imprisoned without due process.
•Power was literally inherited by bloodline.
Under democracies:
•You vote.
•You sue the government.
•You protest publicly.
•You replace leaders peacefully.
If this is “more coercive,” then by that logic a homeowners’ association is more tyrannical than feudalism because you can vote on lawn regulations.
The real move here is rhetorical sleight of hand:
Step 1: Equate democracy with mob rule.
Step 2: Equate mob rule with the French Revolution.
Step 3: Pretend modern liberal democracies are just Robespierre waiting to happen.
That’s like saying because surgery involves cutting people, all doctors are basically serial killers with better lighting.
Mass democracy doesn’t automatically create tyranny. Concentrated unchecked power does. And historically, that’s been monarchs, dictators, and one-party regimes — not societies where power changes hands every few years because voters are annoyed about gas prices.
The irony is thick:
The argument claims equality leads to tyranny… while defending systems where one guy literally rules by divine right.
That’s not an argument against democracy.
That’s nostalgia for crowns.
