According to the Washington Post, last week President Biden discussed concerns over the survival of democracy with a group of academics where comparisons were reportedly made to America pre-Civil War and to pro-fascist movements. NBC News’ Joshua Johnson is joined by historian Michael Beschloss who was part of the group that met with the president for an in-depth analysis of the current state of democracy.

JAIL 'STUPID' 2022. Exploited ex-wife's death for funding and buried her on a golf course to save on taxes.
The MAGAT who attacked the FBI office was just your average simple-minded American Fox TV viewer.
Stupid's $250 million election scam really puts Hunter Biden's Fox TV distraction in perspective.
The rest of the world use 'American' for stupidity e.g. What? are you joking, that sounds American.
No freedom. We are slaves and prisoners on this planet
First of all they would need some form of a "Reichstag incident".
Then they could set the wheels in motion to demonize and arrest political opposition.
Also on the "history" list…
*Control media/silence dissent
*Defund local police and centralize the police force.
*Disarm citizens
*Control of agriculture
*Control of production
*Control of energy
*Control of education
*Control of healthcare
*Dissolve the "outdated" Constitution
A country or a party call itself democracy dose not necessarily mean it is democracy. For a country whose leader only be supported by less than 30%, the best way to describe it is autocracy however, it is a true dictatorship.
It against logic that a country which its top 10% occupies 90% wealth can have democracy. History shows that only Roman republic had such a 'democratic' system like this, which disguise its true face of dictatorship.
The only threat there is is to democrats party an rhinos Americans r sick of em an the lies an media bs which helped bring down democrats they won’t be in office for years to come after what u all ha w done to Americans an America
View this through the The King James Holy Bible. This is biblical, all prophecy is coming to pass. 1600 BC. God is REAL. And, man are you gonna find out.
NEVER LEAVE GOD OUT OF THE EQUATION NEVER !
Ashley Biden said her father, Joe Biden molested her when she was a child.
"Democracy is the worst form of government – except for all the others that have been tried". Winston Churchill
Words Threats to Democracy and MAGA is interchangeable! ✌️
The biggest threat to American democracy is the massive movement against non-existent systemic racism. Teach those people to solve their own problems, rather than accusing professionals and scientists of racism.
Empires come and go
Funny how we shout democracy, democracy,, except for the fact we are a federal republic with a Constitution.
🇺🇸🇺🇸 TRUMP20TOLIFE 🇺🇸🇺🇸
CHUMP 232 FOR PRISON
LET'S GO BABBITT
The historians neglected to mention the Hearst "Yellow Journalism" which at the time was the social media vehicle. It led to "Remember the Maine" cry. He and his cohorts inflamed the country against Asian immigration and that resulted in the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the incarceration of the Japanese Americans in the 1940's. Similar cries were heard after 9/11 against Muslims or their look a likes.
More commie “disinformation”
Biden and his administration and the UN are a threat to the world. Just like old Liz one by one they need to go, most couldn't hold down a job at McDonald's 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wasn’t worried before,
but now historians…
Did they talk about Brandon's history as a segregationists?
A history lesson that can work to unite people.
Why is Democracy better than other forms of Government?
Why did people embrace Democracy in the first place?
What happens to people when they don't have power?
What is the difference between power and freedom? Or could be intertwined with each other? Is it possible to have freedom means to have power? To choose your own fate without outside influences or corruption with reasonable restrictions to not tread on other people's freedom to choose their own fate.
…can't finish the comment… Work calls…
I spit on Demorats graves. FAke news I spit on their graves, Journalist needs a day of redemption. spit, spit.
Trump is the common denominator. Guys gotta go. Facts are on the table.
Gee yah think after a of this people would look up the federation of cats for democracy …its my thing I used to work fir kiveraks who voted republuca. For tax breaks abd worked fir Republicans who stopped my last pay checks for two weeks as a na ny slavery is very dead folks read the book " animal farm " by George Orwell .
Democrats – we must fact check tweets & memes
Also democrats – we don't need to authenticate & verify mail-in ballots. The elections are fair & honest. Trust us!
Speaking of History, the Acts that occur in the power countries when treasons been exposed in them, taught in grade schools, used by militaries and located in libraries world wide, have all occured after that military flight diverted unannounced and before the counts were stopped. Trump was even permitted to walk in Joan of Arcs footsteps and most pea brains are too stupid to know it even though they'd been carried out right in their less educated faces. The media made sure even Americans knew the Queen was excited about her "Act" and our own military did not carry Biden to his inauguration while in other countries soldiers killed people and took named for records and a media was even booted out of a country too. Even El Preggo from the Ministry of Truth couldn't deny and ran from these facts. Have a great day!
A Constitutional Convention Would Help
Reproductive Rights
Abolish Electoral College
Skip The Civil War Part This Time.
With regard to the false allegation that Barack Obama is a Muslim; The United States of America is the land of the free and the home of the brave! Why do so many of my fellow citizens want to impose their religious standards on anyone? That's about as anti-American a sentiment as any I can conceive! SHAME on any American who thinks it scandalous for a person to devote themselves to ANY particular religious faith!
Those that can easily make claims of others act’s, are guilty of doing themselves hoping to hide their hypocrisy.
866 Trump supporters have been charged in the Capitol insurrection so far with many pleading guilty to seditious conspiracy. T
Our right is cuddling up to Russia and China enablers like Hungary, because they are anti-abortion. Many of them use the anti-abortion belief to slide in many of their bellicose tactics so that others dare not disagree.
All the best to the legal team suing Mike Pompeo and the CIA on behalf of Julian Assange.
They should’ve been more vocal with Ronald Reagan… Iran Contra scandal… ask Oliver North.
The GQP is influenced by Foreign Powers.
Mark Twain!😎
Most Republicans are not patriots.
Most Republicans barely know anything about US government or US history, they will break any rule or law to get what they want, and they look at their fellow citizens as enemies.
Ignorant people are easily manipulated.
That's why Republicans fear education.
Republicans are easily manipulated.
It's great to have a POTUS who actively seeks the input of experts, as opposed to the last WH occupant who spent a lot of time attacking experts. Gives me hope. However, America's greatest problem and divider, DJT/MAGA's, is an exceptionally difficult one. Even if the DOJ is able to incarcerate Trump I doubt the MAGA's learn and fade away. I don't have an answer, but maybe someone else does.
Interesting that he mentioned let the things Biden signed into law work its way at the end.
So, let the government continue taking freedoms away.
👍
So fascism is suddenly a threat to our Democracy? 🤔 Would that resemble a government who tries to implement a “Ministry of Truth” on its citizens? A government who sends dozens of armed agents against a political opponent to retrieve classified information that’s so “secret” that can’t give us the reasons for the search or tell us what they took? A government who just doubled the size of its tax collection agency whose agents are required to join a union that donates 99% of its PAC money to one political party? Would that be a government who labels parents who speak out at school board meetings against indoctrination as “domestic terrorists” and tries to intimidate them into silence with threats of federal prosecution? Would that be a government who tells you your business and church MUST close or be prosecuted? Would that be the same government that said children must sit at home for a virus that statistically is almost zero threat to them? Would that be the same government that gives you a choice between a vaccine or losing your job? 🤔
We need to smash the January 6th treason over the Republican's heads for the next 50 years.
This already is not a democracy.
If it were, our government would function much more like Bernie Sanders would prescribe.
Sure, we can all vote, but what we can vote for is heavily controlled.
Yes, it IS a rigged system and I hate Trump.
Get real with yourselves.
civil war will be nice. lets go after CNN first.
As long as you have Trump and his Trumpsters on the scene,there will be that threat to our democracy.The republican party has made a total turn around since he came on to the scene.Stop his nonsense by voting blue.
🇺🇸Very Interesting, History is there to teach us! 👍👍👍
Federalist Papers #10 …
& #2
Probably, the First Lady can give a lesson on "democracy" and "republic."
YOU are the threat
