This has been going on for more than a decade. The "political class" has given themselves the right to decide who is acceptable for any given country to elect. My eyes opened to this in 2012 when Ron Paul was declared "unelectable". The belief among this class is that the population can only be represented by a member of a pre-selected set, which falls within the window of views that are broadly considered (by the political class itself, of course) "acceptable". It's the same question we've been repeating ad nauseum for decades: Who decides that criteria? They don't believe any longer that the election itself can be trusted to be the deciding factor. Actual un-fuckeried-with elections yield ideologies unacceptable to the political class, so those elections must be fucked with. They don't want the population represented; they want the population ruled by their rules. It's clear as day and growing clearer with each rise of the sun.

Or, stated better than I can state it (from Robert Malone's weekly cartoons on substack):

"The actual consensus view of mainstream liberals is that democracy cannot function if people they don't like are allowed to participate in it." -@martyrmade

On top of that, they actually convinced the brainwashed plebs of the same thing. People I meet openly oppose referendum, for example, because they think the people will vote for crazy policies. And there's an attempt to ban our opposition party for 'extremist' views. They have been villified so much, there is no doubt in my mind the public will be fine with it if that happens.

When they say that voting for certain parties will lead to totalitarianism, it wasn’t a warning. It was a threat telling you how they’d respond.

Same with “our democracy”. That’s what they mean. Theirs. Not anyone else’s.

Democracy can't survive jewish controlled media.

"Leftists say that if the AfD gains any significant governmental power they will refuse to work with them."

Sounds familiar. Leftist mayors are already stating they won't cooperate with mass deportation. I'd love to know the real reason why, but they'll say it's for humanitarian reasons. Why spend a bunch of money putting American homeless up in hotels and giving them phones when you can do it for illegal immigrants and win points with your base?
