Democracy is not perfect 👉🏿#Brexit 51.9% can rule 48.1%: throw in the fickle factors — disinformation, social engineering, foreign money, and a long-term asymmetric warfare campaign seducing people with treads of reflexive control: and, bam, #democracy subverted! 🇬🇧 +🐻=🔗💥🇪🇺
@PBesso: That's why in Philly way back when the story goes that one his way out of the Convention's big day a lady asked Ben Franklin what type of government they'd created for the nation, and he replied,
"A republic, ma'am, if you can keep it."
That's also why the United States was quite commonly called "The Great Experiment" back in the day and why so many around the world were excited and curious about it.
It's always been messy AF, but as has been said, it's better than the alternatives.
@thedisasterautist I completely agree; Democracy is as messy AF, and the alternatives: No, thank you!
