“Progressivism’s Belief in the Redemptive Powers of Democracy . . .
March 21, 2024
. . . is that the solution to all the problems of democracy was more democracy.”
–Ralph Rossum, Federalism, the Supreme Court, and the Seventeenth Amendment, p. 191.
Rossum was referring to late nineteenth/early twentieth-century progressives, but of course today’s progressives are totalitarian communists who define “democracy” as permanent monopoly power in the hands of themselves and their party, held together by censorship, never-ending lies and propaganda, cancel culture, lawfare, character assassination, vote fraud, corruption — by whatever means necessary. You know, just like in the Soviet Union, Mao’s China, Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, and other socialist hellholes.
