Constitutional Government

[H2O Man]

42. Well said.

Very well said, indeed.

If it were not so pathetic, it would be a giggle when cult members say that the thugs who carried out the criminal attack on democracy were merely exercising their constitutional rights. These are people who do not have a clue as to the Constitution, nor a grasp of constitutional law. In a very real sense, they are like those arrested for DWI, who threaten to sue the police for infringing on their rights.

When there is a wide-spread ignorance of this type, it becomes all too easy for those "populist" demagogues you noted to rise to power. Indeed, the last century provided more than enough examples of a "populist" sociopath, surrounded by a few ASPD aides, to rise to power.
