Democracy Gone Astray

Democracy, being a human construct, needs to be thought of as directionality rather than an object. As such, to understand it requires not so much a description of existing structures and/or other related phenomena but a declaration of intentionality.
This blog aims at creating labeled lists of published infringements of such intentionality, of points in time where democracy strays from its intended directionality. In addition to outright infringements, this blog also collects important contemporary information and/or discussions that impact our socio-political landscape.

All the posts here were published in the electronic media – main-stream as well as fringe, and maintain links to the original texts.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Stirs Mockery With Question About 'Proven' Trump

Extremist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) really, really doesn’t think Donald Trump should have to debate his 2024 Republican rivals.

Greene over the weekend backed Trump’s vow to skip the Fox News-hosted first debate in Milwaukee on Aug. 23. She asked on X, formerly Twitter: “Why would President Trump have to debate the other candidates?”

“He already has a PROVEN track record of the best 4 years in America!!” Greene continued. “The American people don’t need to hear his ideas, we’ve already lived his policies, loved them, and want more!! The primary is over.”

Trump’s GOP rivals and others say any serious presidential candidate should appear on the debate stage. Others agreed Trump had a “PROVEN” track record, but not one they wanted to be repeated.
