    They have been doing this looooong before donnie d’felon came onto the scene.

    See Newt’s GOPAC and how they documented their tactics to demonize normal Americans, in other words, anyone not a conservative/ Republican in their memo: Language: A Key Mechanism of Control. The evidence goes back further than that (see Democracy in Chains for how little conservatives really care about democracy, or how Nixon was going after “drugs” in order to go after their political foes), but this is from 1990.

      Oh yes the War on Minorities err I mean Drugs.

      Nothing like destroying millions of minority families and disproportionally locking up anyone who is not white.

      Honestly, the whole Democracy thing is just a smoke screen for oligarchy rule. The US government pits the house (supposed to represent the people) against the senate, judicial, and executive branch (representing the wealthy). 3 to 1 odds are pretty shitty and a poor excuse for a democracy that ultimately is lip service only.
