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.

Donald Trump's 'Extremist' Gaslighting Exposed In Damning Montage

MSNBC’s “The Mehdi Hasan Show” laid bare the delicate dance that Donald Trump is attempting on abortion issues.

Trump, the 2024 Republican front-runner, is “trying to paint himself as a moderate when it comes to abortion ahead of the 2024 election,” the show captioned a supercut it aired on Sunday.

“Too bad for him that we have the receipts to remind you of his extremist record,” it wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

The 48-second montage contrasts Trump’s recent middle-of-the-road commentary with his repeated boasting about being responsible for ending federal abortion rights after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
