RW Trolls attacking Democracy

Since Merrick Garland talked about “protecting democracy”, the extremist RW troll/Russian bot factory has reponded on facebook (easy, stomach) that we don’t have a democracy, we have a republic. Also, some are saying bad things about democracy itself, like it’s foe the “hate filled, the tyrant, the bigoted.
Wow. Just wow.

They're all for voting rights as long as it's only white male property owners 21 or older who are allowed to vote. They reject all of the strides we've made toward expanding the rights of full citizenship since the Civil War. Before now they haven't been able to say that shit in public for fear of reprisal, but now that their power is in jeopardy, they're laying all their cards on the table. People should pay attention and take note, for this is who they truly are.

“ Many are still unaware that many blonde women from Texas with names like Carol or Joanna fighting vaccines on Twitter are in reality some fellow called Boris, who, from a drab Soviet era building, runs dozens of such accounts using fake I.P. addresses in North Macedonia.”

He knows what he is talking about.

Where you are only allowed on the ballot if the supreme religious leaders approve of you.
