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.

Joy Reid Sinks Her Teeth Into Stephen Miller With Biting New Nickname

MSNBC’s Joy Reid on Monday took a bite out of ex-Trump White House policy adviser Stephen Miller as “one of the chief architects” of former President Donald Trump’s reported plans to curb immigration to the U.S. with mass deportations and holding camps if he returns to the White House.

“Much of what Donald Trump wants in a second term is no secret at all,” said Reid, adding “the Project 2025 collection of policy proposals to give him all sorts of dictatorial powers has been in the works for years now, with the help of the Heritage Foundation,” referring to the conservative group’s plan for a more right-wing White House.

Miller is a key figure behind the plans, Reid pointed out.

The anchor then described Miller as “the white nationalist Dracula” who was behind “draconian and cruel Trump immigration policies like the Muslim ban and separating immigrant children from their families and putting them in cages.”

“That Stephen Miller,” she added, “has even more disgusting, racist immigration plans for a second Trump term.”

Miller drew condemnation during the Trump presidency for his hardline anti-immigration stance. MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan ripped Miller as “probably the most repugnant individual to serve” in the Trump White House.
