The slight of hand that they are using as the definitions is what you have to watch.

First of all, our country is not a democracy, so there is no protection of that democracy needed. They actually want to use what they term "democracy" to be able to exploit the minority protections that a constitutional republic creates.

They have changed populist to a derogatory term. Our system was specifically set up to eliminate a ruling class. Our government was designed to be run by the people. They want to create a ruling class that will govern the unwashed masses by their betters. They are terrified that someone outside their bureaucratic class will take away their power and upset their plans. Whether it is Trump, Bolsonaro, LePen, Milei, Meloni, Duda, or any other that might be against their goals, the playbook is the same.

The crisis exploitation system also relies on bait and switch. Using climate issues for example, if you don't agree with both the definition of the problem *and* agree to the solutions that they prescribe, you are a denier.

Absolutely nothing concerns me more than the loss of free speech. How people can't understand this astounds me. For the powers that be to state that the Constitution itself is dangerous, and needs to be rewritten is terrifying. Wake up people, now is the time to face the truth.
