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.

[NOTE: Due to changes I haven't caught on time in the blogging software, all of the 'Original Article' links were nullified between September 11, 2012 and December 11, 2012. My apologies.]

The Responses To Marjorie Taylor Greene’s New Memoir Are Exactly What You’d Think


Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced her upcoming memoir on Tuesday, prompting immediate backlash and mockery from critics on social media.

“MTG” will tell Greene’s “side of the story,” the firebrand Republican told the conservative Washington Examiner in promoting the book, which has a Nov. 21 publication date.

“I’m always controversial, but I think this book might be a little controversial with some of the stories,” said Greene, who has denied climate change and promoted conspiracy theories during her time in Congress. 

The book may help pave Greene’s way to the White House, given that she is rumored to be on the shortlist to be Donald Trump’s running mate if he wins the 2024 Republican nomination, said the Examiner.

“I have options. Anything from a governor’s race to a Senate seat,” Greene told the outlet. “I’m not sure who Trump will pick for a VP. I haven’t closed the door on anything.”

Winning Team Publishing is releasing the book.

The company was co-founded by Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. and has previously published the ex-president’s “Letters From Trump” as well as “Crimes Against America” by Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro.
