God save democracy from its so-called defenders

Louis XIV declared, "I am the state." The motto of today's Democratic Party should be "Democracy is us." Supporting anything we oppose is a threat to democracy. On the other hand, opposing anything we support is anti-democratic. According to democracy's self-appointed champions, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's deportation of criminal aliens, President Trump's campaign against urban crime, congressional districts that reflect reality, ballot ID laws, cutting the bureaucracy, opposition to racial quotas and protecting women's sports and privacy all are existential threats to democracy.
