The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

How, specifically, has democracy been lost? You keep writing these statements as if they're factual -- I asked you in another thread to reveal the "malfeasance" you claimed existed in the Biden administration and you didn't or couldn't -- so c'mon, let's hear how democracy has been lost. = CO

The constitution clearly established three branches and established the president as the head of the executive branch. The president embodies the will of the people and is accountable to the electorate. When the permanent administrative state works to undermine the president, they are effectively usurping the will of the people. The administrative state is eager to embrace, expand and implement the policies of a democrat president in support of the will of the people but also serves to be a "necessary" check on the power of a Republican president whose election apparently is not the legitimate will of the people.

The politicization of the DOJ is a prime example. I know you don't see that and will never agree there is bias, but that doesn't negate the opinions of those of us who do. That is why we have elections.
