Liberal Democracy

The new mantra of the left when discussing the mid-term elections is "we have never been closer to losing our democracy". Are we really losing our democracy if Republicans overwhelmingly defeat the Democrats? Most people on the right would think this is ridiculous, but it is not. When the left says we are going to lose our democracy, they are speaking the truth, but the democracy they are talking about is liberal democracy. Liberal democracy has been pursued for a very long time in this country, but a starting point to look at is Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society". FDR's New Deal was the starting point of government coming to the rescue of a failed economy created by government, but Johnson was able to sell his plan as the government finally leveling the playing field for those who were being held down by a society that was driven by racism. Unfortunately, this has in no way leveled the playing field, and actually stacked the deck against minority communities because the entitlements that came with the plan required the destruction of minority families. A bump in the road for liberal democracy happened with Nixon but was able to be put back on track because of Watergate, which is why the left keeps calling January 6 far worse than Watergate. Since that time, we have seen the short-term disruption of liberal democracy with people like Reagan and Trump, but if we look at the curve liberal democracy has continued to gain ground. Liberal Democracy puts an emphasis on equal results rather than equal opportunity, without offering real solutions, especially within minority communities. Nationalism and sovereignty are in direct conflict with a liberal democracy, so it is attacked as racist, and the flood gates are opened for illegal immigration with no relaxation of policies for legal immigration. Through legal immigration our country has been a melting pot of Americans, through mass illegal immigration other individual cultures are brought in to be celebrated and sustained. Capitalism offers an opportunity for individuals to become very wealthy through vision, risk, and hard work, while at the same time offering an opportunity to prosper for those that work in those companies, which is a direct attack on liberal democracy because the government cannot pick winners and losers. Winners in liberal democracy are the elites that get wealthy and the rest of the people who are dependent on government programs. Christianity is also a direct attack on liberal democracy for reasons that probably do not need explanation. Last but not least, green energy is the new foundation of liberal democracy because it is an industry that only exists because the government allows it to, through subsidies. Liberal democracy thrives on division between the haves and have nots, requires the creation of victim classes of people, and diminishes the role of the constitution in the name of equity. So, is liberal democracy at risk? I hope so, but I am afraid it is at risk of only a setback rather than complete destruction.
