Political scientist here: A constitutional republic IS a democracy. What Bobo want is an anti-democratic state governed by a minority. We should all be troubled that a sitting member of Congress is preaching for an anti-American form of government. Follow @AdamForColorado

@AVindman @AdamForColorado You're a traitor.
@AVindman @AdamForColorado Our Republic is set up to protect the few against the many. Your Munchuasen brand of Marxism is to keep the few in a never ending state of victimization to use them against the many. It’s sick and disgusting.
@AVindman @AdamForColorado "We're a 'Constitutional Republic'" is a trope that conservatives have been throwing out for decades.
@AVindman @AdamForColorado A true democracy is where the 50%+1 majority gets its way and every issue is put to a direct vote. We are a representative constitutional republic. A simple majority often doesn’t rule. And that’s deliberate. Mob rule by California and New York is not what’s best for us.
@AVindman @AdamForColorado I'm more troubled that Qbert is being permitted to sit in Congress despite being Constitutionally barred from holding office.
@AVindman @AdamForColorado DeSantis Florida is right out of the Orban playbook….. read about Orban’s views on press, race, LGBQT, immigrants, etc. Why do Orban and Hungarians love DeSantis? Could it be their mutual disdain for liberal democracy and love for authoritarianism? theguardian.com/world/2023/apr…
@AVindman @AdamForColorado You are a traitor to your country.
