from Moonbattery:
When liberals bark about wanting to “defend Our Democracy,” what they mean is that they want to destroy the American system of government so as to impose Soviet style single-party rule. Their flagship publication, the New York Times, confirms it by providing a megaphone and legitimacy to Osita Nwanevu:
After the great rebuke of 2024, many Democrats seem to think their party needs to become more moderate. But there’s another theory potent on the American left that believes Donald Trump’s election shows not just that American democracy is in danger, but that it doesn’t really work at all. What the country needs isn’t just a new policy agenda; it might need the kind of constitutional revolution — from adding new states, to packing the Supreme Court — that some Democrats already flirted with under Joe Biden.

That’s the kind of argument that my guest today, Osita Nwanevu, makes in his new book, “The Right of the People: Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding.” Nwanevu is a contributing editor at The New Republic and the Democratic Institutions fellow at the Roosevelt Institute.
You can read the lengthy transcript of Ross Douthat’s interview here.
The Founding Fathers created a constitutional republic because they understood that direct democracy leads invariably to tyranny. Democrats understand this too, which is why they want to impose it in place of the Constitution that has served us so well for so long. This explains their hostility to the Electoral College.
The massive importation of moochers from the Third World who do not share American values is intended to allow them to consolidate power. As the saying goes in Africa, “One man, one vote, one time.”
Nwanevu was born in the USA to African parents.
We developed our nuclear arsenal because we were willing to blow up the whole planet to prevent the Soviet Union from doing to us what today’s Democrats will do the moment they have the leverage. They need to be understood not as opponents but as enemies.
