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.]

Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ Warning On ‘Normal vs. Crazy’ Gets Flipped In Viral Video

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ (R) warning about the future of America is flipped back on Republicans in a new viral video from the MeidasTouch Network.

The 77-second clip begins with Sanders ― who during her two-year tenure as Donald Trump’s White House press secretary was repeatedly called out for falsehoods ― telling a crowd that: “The truth is, it’s not even a question anymore between right and left. It is normal vs. crazy.”

The spot then uses clips of recent Republican scandals to explain how Sanders’ assessment is actually correct, but not in the way she is spinning.

Footage of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) sharing photos of a naked Hunter Biden at a congressional hearing and Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (Colo.) “Beetlejuice” controversy is cut alongside video of Sen. Markwayne Mullin (Okla.) challenging a union leader to a fight, and more.

It ends with the former president talking unprompted — again — about the “golden showers” allegations, which he denies.

The video has garnered more than 1.5 million views on X, formerly Twitter, alone, although it’s still unclear if such clips convince people to switch their political allegiance.
