Death of Democracy in America
When would you estimate the Republic of the United States no longer was a Democracy, but was instead replaced by the military industrial complex, and modern technocrat kleptocracy we see today. Personally I think when JFK got blown away was the big turning point the Deep State realized they could control everything, and the Presidency was just a roadblock to their global hegemony ambitions. Even since the 90's, especially after the Bush years and the rise of the NSA super-state, our freedoms are more or less gutter water. It would be interesting if news channels actually let politicians get taken to the woodshed like this.

The USA has never been a democracy. Ever. We are a constitutional republic. Big difference. Unfortunately, we began abandoning our constitutional government with Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.

Maybe it started with Abraham Lincoln waging war on the Southern States.

Re: Death of Democracy in America
I wouldn't be able to do it justice, to be honest. But I highly recommend everyone watch it. Perhaps instead of watching a movie, watch this.Lexew1899 wrote: ↑September 25th, 2022, 12:24 pmCan you summarize it in your own words?InfoWarrior82 wrote: ↑September 25th, 2022, 11:53 am Way before JFK, my friend.
