Salon Magazine: This Is ‘Democracy’s Last Thanksgiving’ If Trump Wins The 2024 Election, Americans Have A Difficult Time ‘Understanding Complex Information’
GATEWAYPUNDIT ^ | 11/25/2023 | alicia powe

Salon Magazine’s senior politics writer Chauncey Devega commemorated Thanksgiving with a fearmongering article devoted to hating Donald Trump and debasing Americans who intend to vote for the former president in 2024.

“Trump and his allies and acolytes are publicly planning to make him America’s first de facto dictator, which will mean the end of the country’s democracy,” Devega warns in an article titled ‘Democracy’s last Thanksgiving‘ published Thursday.

Trump is trouncing Biden in every rigged poll amid skyrocketing inflation, oil and gasoline prices shooting through the roof, manufacturing plants exploding on a regular basis, the Justice Department’s unprecedented prosecution of political speech as Americans continue to suffer from the fallout from the experimental Covid mandates, the government’s continuous allocation of billions of American tax dollars to Ukraine — to name a few of the Biden regime’s catastrophic blunders that pose an actual existential threat to the republic.

Biden’s incoherence, incompetence and incontinence have ushered in new dismal standards for the commander-in-chief.

Trump is resoundingly fairing better than Biden in polls and “ahead of Biden in key ‘battleground states'” because Americans are stupid, Devega contends.

“Journalists, pundits, the mainstream political class, other experts, and everyday Americans who follow politics and current events closely assume that the average member of the public does so as well. There are decades of research by political scientists and other experts, however, that shows this to not be true. In reality, most Americans are politically disengaged, lack a sophisticated understanding of political matters, are imagistic and emotional, have a difficult time retaining and understanding complex information, do not pay close attention to elections until they decide to vote, and more generally are civically illiterate,” the Salon author writes. “More than half of

IMHO, the RATS’ “democrazy” needs an “insurrectumy”.

It takes real talent to write such mindless, illogical tripe while maintaining an elevated sense of moral and intellectual superiority.

Seems to me we are already experiencing America’s De Facto Dictator. Hopefully, he will be the last of the line.

It is. It’s their way of saying their Marxist regime is under threat.

When the Left uses the word “democracy” they mean “permanent one-party totalitarian rule by the Democrat Party”.

Just like their lamented homeland, the Soviet Union.

Leftists are so full of themselves. They think anyone who doesn’t agree with them is a knuckle dragging Neanderthal.

Absurdity of the Jornos. Too bad Tom Wolfe is no longer among us to pillory these propagandists.

Well, some of us do, sure.

But more of us have had trouble when people to whom we give the benefit of the doubt make simple things seem complicated on purpose to deceive us.

People are learning fast, now though.

Chauncey is a mediocre writer trying to use inflammatory rhetoric to make up for his lack of intellect.

Chauncey. Poor guy was cursed from infancy with a name like Chauncey. Even Chauncey Gardener made more sense.

That quote describes almost every liberal, democrat voter I know. Family members and friends. They know nothing and what they do know they are wrong about. They are driven by emotion and get flustered and call you names if you try to make a logical factual argument to the. They get their news from MSNBC or some other alphabet network or Twitter and FB if they get it at all.
