Dictator or Democracy
What is a dictator and what is a democracy?
Dictator is a government leader who rules with unquestioned and unlimited power. Today, the term “dictator” is associated with cruel and oppressive rulers who violate human rights and maintain their power by jailing and executing their opponents.
Democracy is a system of government in which power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or through freely elected representatives.
It’s easy to loosely throw these terms around or attach them to politicians without any basis or proof and without “fact checking” them for applicability or accuracy.
We know undeniably that Germany’s Adolph Hitler, Iraq’s Saddam Hussain, Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi were dictators who ruled with fists of iron and each required total compliance of their people.
Today we see that North Korea’s Kim Jong-Un is a dictator who has assumed god-like status over his people and is not hesitant to execute or make people disappear, including family members who pose a threat.
In the United States we neither have a dictator or democracy as a form of government. So don’t let anyone fool you by slinging those terms around while describing their political opponents.
The United States of America is a Republic and has the Constitution as our Rule of Law, making us a Constitutional-Republic with an elected Executive (President) chosen by the people and serving for a maximum of 8 years.
Under the Joe Biden Administration among other things we have seen the violation of the Constitutional rights of American citizens, even though it is unlawful to arrest and confine individuals without being convicted by a court of law, after January 6, 2021 those posting on social media that they were in the vicinity of the Capital Building are being in a Federal Prison without being charged or convicted of crimes but obviously guilty of – trespassing, yet not allowed due process (access to attorneys or medical treatment).
Is this the actions of a Constitutional-Republic, or that of a real wannabe dictator of some fictitious democratic government?
So when you read or hear someone call Donald Trump a dictator who is trying to pave the way for vengeance against his political enemies – stop, step back and take a look at the source. Is it credible or political propaganda aimed at spreading fear and causing panic? It would appear that we have a Legislative Branch so terrified of the consequences for defying the Democratic Party’s “Communistic Agenda” that they are therefore powerless to go against the herd.
When we have a government of and for the people, the real power is in the VOTE and failing to vote is voting in absenteea……… (Good people doing absolutely nothing).
Every legal vote counts. – RTM
