“We’re a republic, not a democracy.”
That phrase is more than just misleading—it’s a tool used to justify democratic erosion.
New from DemocraTrend: the historical roots, political misuse, and authoritarian implications of this favorite right-wing talking point.

Leave X - Protect Democracy

Excellent: EU race to rearm is pointless if hostile foreign powers can still use online algorithms to boost authoritarians to power across Europe. Europe’s new “Democracy Shield” should immediately shut them down.

If #DavidHogg were actually a #democrat, he'd be trying to help Jordan Wood in Maine oust the ridiculous Susan Collins from the US Senate. Jordan is young, has years of hill experience, worked diligently to reduce the influence of money in politics and defends #democracy at every turn. Wasting money like he did last cycle is just #stupid and counter-productive. #uspol #uspolitics

That same day, #Trump also signed a memo targeting #MilesTaylor, a fmr US ofcl who wrote an opinion column & book critical of Trump under the pen name “Anonymous.”

In the Oval Office last week, Trump called #ChrisKrebs a “wiseguy” & mocked an appearance he had seen from Krebs on TV.

“He came out right after the election, which was a rigged election, a badly rigged election…this guy Krebs was saying, ‘Oh, the election was great, it was great,’” Trump said.
