Tyranny by the Few
CGG Weekly by David C. GrabbeAs America descends into disorder, it is evident that the foundational principle of a government of the people, by the people, for the people is eroding. This republic was established on the belief that tyranny opposes the natural rights of man, and a free society can only thrive when power is removed from the elite few and placed, at least indirectly, into the hands of the many. Yet, it appears such a society is not destined to endure. Despite clear majority opinions on various issues, legislators and politicians often disregard the will of the people, allowing a disconnect to grow between public sentiment and policy. This marginalization of the majority, fueled by influences like the overwhelmingly liberal media, distorts reality and normalizes what was once taboo, effectively imposing a form of tyranny by shaping perceptions against the common will. Over time, as people are repeatedly told their views are extremist or outdated, the will to resist fades, leaving them feeling like outsiders in their own land.
