Viktor Orban coined the term "ILLIBERAL DEMOCRACY".
Typing in all caps makes my skin crawl.
Viktor Orban has a shelf life too and will be gone in a decade or less. Chances are good that the "lliberal democracy" he embraced will be replaced with a more liberal one.
So you think I should shake off the yoke of this illiberal democracy Republicans have turned America into...?
Maybe I should join a militia and become a sovereign citizen. Buy some guns to protect myself. Refuse my government check and government sponsored healthcare.
No thanks. I will voice my opinion at the ballot box and accept the results with grace if I am outvoted.
Because the election isn't rigged. And I don't think Americans will ever allow them to be rigged. Even though a corrupt politician occasionally comes along and tries to rig them.
If Americans were the weaklings you imagine them to be then they would deserve to go down that path. Because every time a society does it the results are the same. (see history)
But I don't think they are. No matter which party they vote for.
I'm not saying it can't happen here. I'm saying it most likely won't. And even if it did we would overcome it. Because we are f*cking Americans and it's what we do.
