The US constitution was drafted by a cabal of wealthy slavers and landed aristocrats who repeatedly announced “we hate democracy because poor people might vote to not be exploited by us anymore” and crafted a political system to ensure their perpetual class rule and people are really unsure how the US could have ended up in the situation it’s in now.
Liberals in my mentions are working overtime to reconcile “Trump is a fascist dictator” with “the US constitution is good actually” as if he just came out of nowhere and suddenly found himself with absolute power over the state.
Me: the US constitution is anti-democratic
A liberal: um I’m not sure you know what democracy means, it comes from the Greek for “rule of the people”
Me: yes that’s explicitly how I’m using the term
A liberal: um you should know that no one else uses it that way
