@Wipqozn and that's apparently ok to some. they are of the belief that because the US "isn't a democracy" it should be the minority who dictates how the country run because it stops "a mob rule"

i can understand not wanting population dense centers having only their issues catered for by campaigns......but the US's system just shifted the problem

and honestly, governments only focusing on population dense areas is a failing of the people who want to/do get elected

I mean, it's agreement with the premise while also thinking it's good

Of course the senate and the court are antidemocratic

they were designed that way

Wait until you hear about who was allowed to even sort of vote back in 1789

those guys thought regular people were too stupid to have any real say in anything

and these guys on discord like "uhhhhhhh, this is actually good" still do think that

except they also think that they're the giga smart land owning white citizen when probably only two of those things are true here

@Memor-X This idiot doesn't understand that "republic" and "democracy" are describing two different things. Republics span the spectrum of tyrannies/dictatorships to democracies, the same as monarchies.

Comey and McCabe, Two Trump Foes, Both Faced Intensive I.R.S. Audits

> The former F.B.I. director and his deputy, both of whom former President Donald J. Trump wanted prosecuted, were selected for a rare audit program that the tax agency says is random.

> Mr. Comey was informed of the audit in 2019. Two years later, the I.R.S., still under the leadership of a Trump appointee after President Biden took office, picked about 8,000 returns for the same type of audit Mr. Comey had undergone from the 154 million individual returns filed in 2019, or about one in 19,250.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
