Fox News host Tucker Carlson doesn’t always align the granular details in a way that I will always agree with; however, in this monologue he accurately and brilliantly deconstructs the “Democracy at Stake” narrative. Tucker Carlson simply nails this.
This big picture monologue on the distinct difference between what authoritarian minded Democrats and media call “democracy”, and what true democracy actually is meant to represent, is brilliantly presented. WATCH:
.
No, no, and no. Both Sundance and Tucker have it completely wrong. The United States of America was never intended to be a democracy in any form. It was a Constitutional Republic. Not a Democratic Republic, not a Democracy, not a modified Democracy.
Whenever you allow the conversation to include democracy in any form, you lose the argument to the liberals, globalists, DC, swamp, etc. You lose. You must, and I can’t emphasize this enough, must deny the very foundation of the USA being a democracy in any form. The conversation must be changed to Constitutional Republic.
The more you argue about versions of democracy, the more you lose. Tucker just gave the democracy team a win. Tucker’s arguing on their turf, on their terms, on their rules. You think most people care about “versions” of democracy. No.
Change the mind. Pull the rug out from under the libs/dems/globalists and force them to concede that the USA is a Constitutional Republic.
I could not agree with you more. Tucker had the concept of elections down pat, but the fact that the USA is called anything resembling a Democracy is abhorrent to me. The Constitutional Republic, for which our flag stands, is not a majority rules Democracy. Democracies don’t allow for minorities to have a say in anything. Moreover, Democracies always dissolve into being more like what two wolves and a sheep discussing what they will have for dinner.
Everything the left does irks me no end, but calling us a Democracy is another straight up lie that ignores the greatest political document ever written. That we need a new political document can surely be argued, but our concept of a Republic is solid at its core principles.
The point is the communist countries always put the word Democratic in their title to make it sound like something they are not. A smoke screen.
The *point* of Carlson’s monolog went right over their scholarly heads. This is an election year, they’re not able to see the forest because of the trees (IMO)
“Democracies always dissolve into being more like what two wolves and a sheep discussing what they will have for dinner.”
I never understood this analogy. Wolves eat sheep. Why shouldn’t they have it for dinner? Why even vote?
Yes a limited centralized government in a democratic republic.
What was to be and what is now are not even running parallel.
Our planners were not politicians that could be compared to todays politician. They could think passed the next election. Our current politicians can’t lay out plans for next month. We need long term plans and politicians who will hold to them.
No. We were not meant to be a “democratic republic”. The founders had an option to call us that and chose to shun democracy, instead using a Constitutional Republic as the foundation for America. Remove democracy from every argument. We were a Constitutional Republic. We are currently an American Democracy, ruled by globalist elites. The more you agree with the term democracy in an argument, the more you lose.
Why the past tense? We ARE a Constitutional Republic. The USA IS a Constitutional Republic, although you wouldn’t know it based on the TREASONOUS activities of the last hundred or so years.
Why are we so quick to wave ‘bye-bye’ to the Constitutional Republic created under God by our founding fathers? Who are the ‘usurpers’ ruining our nation, and how do we get rid of them?
The answer, my friends, lies in this document, called the Constitution, that our Constitutional Republic is founded upon. Not was. IS.
Because we are no longer a Constitutional Republic. January 2020, the globalists coalesced power from the fraudulent national election and installed Biden. Those acts ended the Constitutional Republic that we had been. You cannot have a Constitutional Republic if the very foundation of the Constitution is subverted. The quicker we come to that realization, well, it’s like having to admit the problem before you can fix it.
We never waved “bye-bye” to it. It was forcefully (not physically) take from us via fraudulent elections as a cover for their taking control over DC. A silent coup, if you will. One completed from years of slow progress towards that goal.
“One completed from decades of slow progress towards that goal.”
2020 was not the first time the Constitution was subverted. The subversion has been incremental over many years. Elections have been subverted before this.
More people are aware of it today. That’s the only difference.
We still have our Constitutional Republic. And now we need to defend it. The first step is to call the USA by its proper term: A Constitutional Republic.
2020 was the culmination where a group went overboard to grab power because the previous four years was dismantling their control. They grabbed that control in 2020 and ran with it. While it took decades to get the groundwork in place, it allowed near complete control of most federal agencies, bureaus, etc. Jan 2020 was the point in time when our Constitutional Republic was overthrown. From the barricades erected in DC to the hundreds of arrests from Jan 6th, to the raid on Mar a Lago, to imprisonment of MAGA supporters while other criminals are freed, to all the coverups of the Ukraine, Iran, Russia Collusion fiasco, to using Big Tech for censorship, and on … when you step back and look at the big picture, yes, our Constitutional Republic is no more.
We need to reclaim it. We need people in office to uphold it. We need people to start pushing back on every single person (even Sundance) who keeps using the word democracy to describe America. Restore Our American Republic. It’s a fitting saying to go with the symbol of the Lion used for Trump. The elephant and the donkey should go the way of the dodo. We are in a war for freedom. Hopefully, we can keep it non-violent and non-physical. It takes longer, but it’s far less heartbreaking. Vote and ROAR.
“Democratic republic” is an oxymoron. Think about it.
Very correct, although it’s been perverted in the last 110 years, direct election of senators, federal reserve act (which violates the constitution) among others I can’t think of at the moment. The last election was totally unconstitutional with courts, governors, secretaries of state, and whomever altering the voting laws and protocols. In this respect, biden is truly an illegitimate president.
It’s “coincidental” that the FRA, 16th Amend, 17 Amend all began shortly after the Fabians of the Milner group organized. Then they birthed the League of Nations which later became the UN.
England with their quest for world domination is still at it. They never let go of their colonies, now called commonwealth countries. and they’ve sunk their claws into the US via NATO. They interfered in our 2016 presidential election and they are trying to maneuver us into another European war, just as they have in the past.
There is an axiom in debating: When you accept the words of your opponent, you have lost the argument.
For the illustration, see Kari Lake.
She wins her arguments!
I’ve said the same thing on these pages for many years. I call it ‘bringing home the RAID.’ For some reason that I can’t fathom, it appears that patriots are not as committed to defending our Constitutional rights as the globalists are committed to removing them.
American voters denied the peaceful transition of power via fair elections in 2020 are smeared as “insurrectionists” and “election deniers.” We move that ball forward every time WE repeat these FALSE talking points. The ENEmedia leads us in circles and, like ballroom dancers, we go round and round, spreading all their fake news far and wide.
The latest FAKE NEWS rally cry is to defend our “democracy?” How conveniently we allow these charlatans to remove any remnant of our Constitutional Republic and all of our rights therein.
Amen and thank you!
I have been complaining about this since forever. More than a few times Tucker is guilty of referring to us as a democracy. It has become a programmed mission creep trend by both parties to call us a democracy.
The ONLY person that I have heard of late refer to us as a Republic is Kari Lake. And yes, we must correct anyone at every opportunity to remind them we are a Constitutional Republic.
yada, yada, yada. BS too. You’d think all or the majority of o USA citizens hold PHD’s? Tucker is putting things in context that High School kids can easily understand. you are getting into semantics and would not do a thing to get that average Joe out to vote. Tucker is getting out the voters. get your head out .. …. … and smell the Red Wave coming Nov 8th.
Spot on Mark ! My daughter was educated in private school K thru 12 and understood the distinction!
When in college some blue haired nose ring argued the threat to our democracy. She responded the facts regarding our Constitutional Republic Of Independent States and our nation is not a democracy !
Blue Hair became enraged and the professor stepped in supporting her fact loaded response . The professor was a combat veteran of the Vietnam War . She is a BSN/RN working a Med surge floor in a prestigious world famous hospital.
To all you dads out there : I was not the best father not the smartest but I was and am still there 24/7/365 .
Be there for your children and assure them you are in their corner no matter what ! The results will astound you ‘
Agreed. But they are trying to imply ‘free society’ – when they are the actual threa.
If you’re a fan of BS election narratives it’s definitely a great propaganda segment.
If you’re like me and honestly want real steps taken to create change it is infuriating.
“real steps taken to create change” is what has brought us to this point.
60 years ago, throughout my childhood I continually heard the mantra “change is good”. I’d ask my parents why.
They never came up with a satisfactory answer. They never could come up with a satisfactory answer on inflation either but that’s another story.
I never really liked change. Life was good. Why change it? Well, it’s changed now, and I definitely do not like change.
I’d like to negate all this glorious change we’ve had over my lifetime. How could that be accomplished?
Kick the Globalist controlled Communists to the curb. That’s how.
So more Progressivism, but “the right kind” of Progressivism? I’m trying to understand that analogy.
I think we need to go back much further than 60 years and I don’t think these people are communist. I see that as a straw man argument catch all to oversimplification.
Just my 10000 foot view, but our childhoods were not that far apart but apparently vastly different.
The sad part is… even with his excellent ratings last night he pulled ~3.9M viewers. That’s an exceptional number and according to MSN, of all sources, that beat all CNN shows in the coveted 25-54 age group combined. Back to the 3.9M viewers. 158.4M voted in 2020. Using that number approximately 2.5% of eligible voters view last nights telecast. Would be nice if that percentage got up around 50% don’t cha’ know!
158.4M did not vote in 2020. That’s a fake number calculated by adding Biden’s fraudulently exaggerated total to Trumps understated total. IMHO the number is closer to 125M, with 80M for Trump and about 45M for Biden.
I agree that 3.9M viewers is a tiny percentage of voters, but television news is not attracting large numbers of viewers for at least a decade, especially since the TV news is ~90% biased against conservative values and Republicans, and the internet & social media became a primary news source for tens of millions of Americans.
Democracy is fine. Democrats “jobs” are at stake…
No, democracy isn’t fine. The United States of America was never intended to be a democracy in any form. It was a Constitutional Republic. Not a Democratic Republic, not a Democracy, not a modified Democracy.
Whenever you allow the conversation to include democracy in any form, you lose the argument to the liberals, globalists, DC, swamp, etc. You lose. You must, and I can’t emphasize this enough, must deny the very foundation of the USA being a democracy in any form. The conversation must be changed to Constitutional Republic.
The more you argue about versions of democracy, the more you lose. Tucker just gave the democracy team a win. Tucker’s arguing on their turf, on their terms, on their rules. You think most people care about “versions” of democracy. No.
Change the mind. Pull the rug out from under the libs/dems/globalists and force them to concede that the USA is a Constitutional Republic.
I am a retired Family Physician. Being a Christian myself, I tended to see a lot of Christians in my private practice. Whenever I had a need to refer a patient to a specialist, the patients would often ask me to refer them to a Christian specialist. My answer would always be “I would rather refer you to a competent non-Christian than an incompetent Christian.” Just because someone is Christian doesn’t mean they are the best in their area.
All truth is from God. God can use a donkey, a whale, or whatever else He wants to use to get His Word out to us.
(Lest I be misunderstood, there are many competent Christian specialists out there; and if the patient requested it, I would always honor their request if I thought the specialist was competent; however, just being a Christian is not enough unless there is competence and truth in their work.)
So as far as Tucker is concerned, we need to pick out the truth and discard the chaff.
One of the main tactics of the Evil One is to mix truth with evil. I believe that’s one of the reasons Satan is called “Lucifer” or “Angel of Light”.
Yes! Yes! YES! Lucifer, the father of lies, always throws in some ‘candy’ to confuse the susceptible and lull us into complacency.
Be ever vigilant. Do *not* be deceived by the father of lies! Appeal to our true Creator to deliver us from evil.
What beautiful words. I see G-d using the left (donkeys) every day to show the world the truth.
I believe the scales have fallen off many eyes as they watched the people in this regime tell their lies and threaten us. G-d bless you and all who read here.
Mrs. Ausonius wondered, after hearing this, how Tucker Carlson is still alive.
I surmised that he is too famous to commit “suicide” suddenly.
Her reply: “He isn’t too famous to have a fatal accident, or be the fatality in a crime.”
To be sure, any of that would be difficult for us to swallow, just as we know that Mr. Epstein did not commit suicide.
On the other hand, the Kool-Aid drinkers will easily swallow anything from their puppeteers, and be blissfully happy about it.
I’m not going to lie, I worry about him. I pray he’s prepared and has a plan to go underground if that time comes.
He and his family were threatened and terrorized by a rabid mob once before. Hopefully he learned a great deal from that.
I recommend that Tucker invest in a 12 gauge, high-capacity bullpup.
The KelTec KS7 is high octane, if you can find one.
He still operates out of his home studio in Maine, yes? Compounds are easier to secure than movement. I hope he isn’t too trusting about who prepares his food. After a couple of bad experiences, I prepare all my own now. I don’t take gifts of food nor accept them. Sad that the world has come to this.
Fortunately Tucker makes his living in the world of electronic entertainment and information. He’ll be OK IMO as long as he’s prudent about movement.
Klain speaks of ‘the big lie’. Does he mean the potted plant received 81+ million individual, legally cast, American citizen votes?
IT.DIDNT.HAPPEN, Ron.
I pledge allegiance to the flag 🇺🇸 of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under GOD, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Jan 6th political prisoners have been beaten (off camera, of course) for saying that, or singing the National Anthem.
Actually, it’s our republic that is at stake.
But Democrats are counting on voters not understanding the difference.
Just about all democrats are ignorant of the three branches of government.
I once had three liberals in a row fail to know what century our Civil War was in.
I just don’t understand how it’s possible that there are people stupid and gullible enough to fall for Joe Biden’s lies.
People fell for Adam Schiffs years worth of lies and he is a possible successor to Nancy. I think for many folks like my neighbors who say while shaking their head “I don’t want to hear it!” but yet don’t like the way things are going, some of this is overwhelming. So, they shut down input and are stuck with whatever they have in their head. We can’t force people to listen unfortunately. My neighbors still listen to NPR and nothing I say will change that.
Pain is a motivator and America hasn’t had enough yet to change some minds.
Same folks getting the new wuhanvirus/ annual flu COMBINED shot. Don’t ask questions….
If, as anticipated, Nov 8th results thrust our Republicans into the majority in the House of Representation that body needs to grab the moment.
Donald J Trump Senior must be elected Speaker of The House for the next Congress. Why on Earth should we follow up the ‘Red Wave’ with anyone but Donald J Trump to be third in line for the Presidency for the next two years!?
Here is the Law as printed in Wikipedia.
‘The Constitution does not require the speaker to be an incumbent member of the House of Representatives, although every speaker thus far has been.[4] The speaker is second in the United States presidential line of succession, after the vice president and ahead of the president pro tempore of the Senate.[2]’
NOW is the time to Make America Great Again by recognition of Citizen and stolen 2020 President by Election Donald J Trump Senior.
First we have to put up with Nancy retiring early and a new democrat speaker for 2 months while SlowJoe resigns and Kamala quits due to an electric bus accident and that new dem speaker then becomes president.
Proportionally electing Representatives to Congress, in accordance with our Constitution, is called a Constitutional Republic. That very same Constitution, guarantees to every state…“A REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT…” They vote on the laws that will govern us.
In a “Democracy”…Each person votes on that law. The way I describe it: Democracy is three foxes and one chicken voting on what’s for dinner. Have we become the Democratic Peoples Republic of America?
supposedly Ben Franklin was asked, “what sort of government have you given us.” Franklin replied, “a republic, if you can keep it.” I get angry when nincompoops say democracy.
Is the United States a Republic or a Democracy?
The following statement is often used to define the United States’ system of government: “The United States is a republic, not a democracy.” This statement suggests that the concepts and characteristics of republics and democracies can never coexist in a single form of government. However, this is rarely the case. As in the United States, most republics function as blended “representational democracies” featuring a democracy’s political powers of the majority tempered by a republic’s system of checks and balances enforced by a constitution that protects the minority from the majority.
Tucker is talking about the democratic ”function’‘ of government, not the Republican ”form” of government. There is a difference between ”function” and ”form.”
One only needs to remember that USSR stood for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to understand that its function of government was socialism, but its form of government was a republic.
Rather than responding to the question “was the 2020 election fixed” the response should be will the results of 2022 be verifiable. Democrats say we can’t prove fraud, Republicans say Democrats can’t say the election was fair without counting votes deemed illegal under state law.
how will 2022 be any different that 2020? We know the game, illegal ballots are not to be counted. Illegal ballots are not votes because you can’t trace them to voters.
In this context “Democracy” is short for “Democrat Supremacy”, and what it really means is one-party rule. What already exists in California is what they wish to impose in every other state and in Washington DC.
It was a masterpiece. Hopefully, millions viewed and will vote to save our republic!
I always used to be amazed at the anti-Tucker comments here.
If people would spend as much time directing their politically-unaware freinds to Carlson’s monologues, as they do complaining about what he doesn’t talk about, the country would be a better place.
Yeah your democracy is at stake – the republic is reasserting itself. And WTP are just getting started eradicating your communist garbage.
one thing I’m pleased with. Most people now know the so called Democrats are not socialists. And they are not Democrats. They are flat out communists. They are evil. And when there are no longer anybody in government opposing them they will start arresting all of us and killing us. But we do have our guns. I’ve seen this since the 2016 Democratic convention.
Surprisingly good editorial by Peggy Noonan in the Wall Street Journal
“I wrote last week of where I think we’re going, and why: a very good night for Republicans, with both houses of Congress won and some surprising governorships taken. The wave we are in has been building since the spring and summer of 2020 and the protests and riots sparked by the killing of George Floyd. That period has never been fully appreciated as the time of trauma and disorder it was, with small businesses going up in flames and some downtowns turning into war zones. It was just about that point the Democratic Party made it obvious they’d gone far left on issues of crime and punishment. Then Afghanistan, illegal immigration, inflation and wokeness in the schools. Those things would leave voters turning against a ruling party, and taking from it some of its power. ” ~
Your Duty as a Voter Is to Take the Election Seriously – WSJ
As interesting as it is to hear that democracy is at stake, what about the threat to our Constitutional Republic? Democracy will always come down to a battle of wills and the rudder of demagoguery will usually determine which segment of the national will prevails. The founders knew this, and had contempt for Democracy, which tends to always devolve into some form of mob rule.
But we are a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC! If someone asks you the meaningful difference, tell them that it means that there are a bedrock of rights, enumerated by and enshrined in a document, that cannot be abridged, voted out, or usurped by the majority or the government. In the U.S., we recognize that those bedrock rights are inalienable because they are a gift of our creator God and thus should be unassailable.
It’s become almost chic to imagine a patriotism divorced from its Christian moorings. All the trappings, with the flag waving and the bands, and rallies, evoke memories of our founding, but without the Godly content it’s an empty shell. If our rights do not derive from a perfect and all-powerful creator, they are not unassailable. If they are not unassailable, then they are subject to amendment and even cancellation – the Constitution really is, then, a “living document” that should express the popular will. But if they do derive from an immutable God, then they too are immutable and to attempt to overturn or abridge those rights is an offense against our creator God.
We are not a Democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic. And this election, the fate of our Republic is at stake, so help us God to do the right thing.
Where was that tuck segment in the last 2, 4, 6 years?
Just now,
realizing the code ( change of definitions without transparently saying the new – publicly)?
It’s – code language- been the ( unmentionable) case for a decade – for some, not all.
– fundamental transformation ( loss of liberty ) via increase in tyranny…
– hope and change… ( you. taxpayers pay the inequity in just us ( not justice )
– ‘fairness’ = inequality…
…’science’ = political idea
…’ vaccine’ = gene therapy treatment …
Why has obfuscating dc been so quiet about n3 hard evidence? for 2 years?
Did ‘ they’ realize the gig,.?
and were / are afraid to mention that the emperor has no clothes?
That ( obfuscation by others) looks like an inspiration for God’s children, to mention ( vote for) the truth
( without censors ).
Imho
Excellent!
All Democracies are Oligarchies. I believe Machiavelli pointed this out.
That’s why they say “Our Democracy”.
More likely and to put a finer point on the matter this is a subtle call out to the DNC minions in Antifa and BLM to get ready to hit the streets for another session of rioting, protest, intimidation, arson and murder.
Still wondering, days later as to who the actor was that stood in for Brandon during his repudiation of many people in America who could give a fork about what is coming out his piehole. That there were no gaffes, no mistakes, and/or were crickets re his HIGHLY UNUSUAL and out of the usual cognitive state.
I’ve been wasting a lot of energy resenting that ” my cognitive abilities” have been questioned for so long about so many things since Brandon was installed. Well I guess that would be back to way when back when.
Starting to enjoy the smell of the FLOP SWEAT oozing out of all that promote “democracy.” The word democracy to me now is CODE (not so subtle) for Democrat.
And I like Tucker. And I am glad that at least he is one of the few of the MSM who have protected and “free” speech.
