Democracy is not exactly the virtue that it has been touted to be. Sure, the word is rooted in the Greek term for “rule by the people”, but the determination, of just exactly who “the people” should be limited to, has changed, seemingly by almost every person in the world who has chosen to use the term.
Everybody who happens to be within a particular region? Only individuals over that age of twenty-one (or eighteen, or twenty-five, or sixty)? Only to one gender, or both, or however many more can be “invented”? Should domesticated animals be included, and if so, why not the feral and undomesticated creatures that happen to dwell in close proximity? Should be there be some test of mental capability, or is that just “prejudice” on the part of the folks who determine things?
Democracy can run amok if it is permitted to.
Don’t dare ask for an I.D. card! That’s just plain Racist!

It already has. The system has been gamed. Why do you think they want to grant free amnesty to illegal aliens while at the same time our Southern border is being permeated by large numbers of Muslims that are coming in through the Mexico border in large numbers posing as Mexicans because they look so similar? We under invasion by an administration that is encouraging it to retain their power.
