To liberals, “Democracy” is the newspeak term for “Dictatorship by liberals.”

“To liberals, ‘Democracy’ is the newspeak term for ‘Dictatorship by liberals.’”

To be more accurate, I’d change “liberals” to “leftists.” There are still a few liberals who have not gone full woke and full left, but their number is dwindling.

Not exactly.

Notice how they use the term "our democracy" all the time.

What they mean by "our democracy" is never explained. What it means is that extraconstitutional changes to the system over the twenty-year period 1954-1974 have created a Second Constitution, a Second Republic if you like, which renders inoperative large parts of the original Constitution.

The Civil Rights Act (1964), especially, changed our underlying system of operations form "what is not forbidden is permitted" to "what is not permitted is forbidden".

In Griggs v. Duke Power (1971), the USSC ruled that unequal outcomes of any process were prima facie violations of the Civil Rights Act (1964) and/or the Voting Rights Act (1965).

Since then, the provisions of the Civil Rights Act (1964) pertaining to "sex" have been expanded again and again to protect all sorts of minority preferences and behaviors.

The sum of all these actions have created a situation wherein the majority (as long as it is made up of white people) is allowed self-rule only in matters of no importance.

It will be interesting to see if, when (soon) white people are not a majority, if the laws and co;urt rulings of 1954-1974 will be used to protect them.

Somehow, I doubt it.
