In a previous post, I called out, “America: It is democracy, stupid!” In this post, I will make the same call far beyond America …
1. What is democracy?
The image below highlights what democracy truly is.

2. Two distinctive features of modern democracy
- Getting elected (or re-elected) ad nauseam!
- Money is everything, seconded by name recognition and the monarchical style (e.g., “Bush and Kennedy” in America, and “Aquino” and “Marcos” in the Philippines).
The image below highlights the lie and the truth behind the American establishment, including American democracy.

3. American democracy

4. Why is “independence” so popular in Taiwan?
Two main reasons:
- It is nice to be king (Poll shows 48.8% support independence).
- Taiwan’s politicians exploit the popularity to their advantage, on top of America’s subversive activities against China (China criticizes the upcoming US visit of Taiwan’s presidential front-runner).
5. What if China were a democracy?
President Xi would/should/could have promised to get Taiwan back to get elected (Why does China want Taiwan when it’s already so big and rich? The answer is about more than land and money) and militarily conquer Taiwan to get re-elected, Abraham Lincoln style (China Invokes Abraham Lincoln in Justifying Push to Take Taiwan).
6. Why is Ukraine in such chaos?
Three main reasons:
- It is the history, stupid (Europe without America?)!
- It is democracy, stupid!
- It is America, stupid (The War in Ukraine Was Provoked-And Why That Matters to Achieve Peace)!
7. Why is the Mideast in such chaos?
Three main reasons:
- It is the history, stupid (The Mideast without America?)!
- It is democracy, stupid (Israel’s new right-wing government is even more extreme than protests would have you think)!
- It is America, stupid (United Nations Honor, United States Shame in Gaza)!
8. Democracy is destroying the world!
The image below is worth more than 1,000 words.

9. Back to America
The image below highlights one perspective.
Another perspective is highlighted in the image below.
The image below highlights yet another perspective.
The image below highlights yet still another perspective.
10. Closing
It is democracy, stupid!
America, reform our failing political system, as I have suggested (History 2.0 – China’s Comeback vs. America’s Decline), or face a bloody revolution at home (A quarter of Americans open to taking up arms against government, poll says)!
