‘Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…’ Winston S Churchill, 11 November 1947
Here of late I have been to wonder about democracy being the “best form” of government, given that half the population is by definition on the lower half of the bell curve of intelligence. Whether that half votes as much as the other half, I do not know. People now days seem to revel in their ignorance.
The other thing that has me worried about democracy is the blind allegiance of so many MAGAs, and GOP politicians to the POS that is our current POTOS, Gospodin Trump. This represents such a lack of sophistication, such a lack of critical thinking that it scares the living bejeebers out of me. With Fox News as the most popular news channel on cable TV, that just doubles down on the bejeebers fleeing my body.
