What is democracy to you?
Is it a flag of red, white, and blue waving in the air on the back of your pickup truck while complaining to the administrators that immigrants are "infiltrating" your kid's school?
Is it proclaiming your commitment to equality while you vote for the stripping of the rights of your neighbors?
What is democracy?
Over the years, democracy has distorted into white supremacy, of dominion over other countries.
It has turned into a dictatorship, with a president striking down laws protecting the vulnerable.
Let's go back to when democracy was present in society.
And not some concept from the past that we scoff at and play around with.
We've strayed so far from the Constitution.
Let's go back to the principles our country was founded upon. That the blood, sweat, and tears our founding fathers shed so that we could have a brighter future.
Look what we've done now.
Democracy means being governed by the people. Where have the people gone now?
You've gotten rid of them.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Bring back the true essence of democracy.
