>> were no longer in a democracy but mob rule...
Uh, we’re not a democracy - we’re a republic. By definition, “democracy” IS mob rule. Our formation as a republic was designed to protect our liberty.
BTW, have you checked out the free online courses from Hillsdale College on this subject?
Oh, I’m aware we are technically a republic, not a democracy but democracy, in the current form of the word, is an orderly rule of the people. Mob rule is not. Mob rule is a subgroup exercising tyranny over the rest of us, which is what we are becoming.
