One Person's Democracy is Another Person's ... ?

Early in July, U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh,
who had just a bit earlier was the target of a failed assassination
attempt, was dining at a Morton's steakhouse when a mob gathered
outside of the restaurant. Given all this, one would think that a bit
of condemnation of the mob, whose purpose was to intimidate 
Justice Thomas because of their anger over his ruling in favor of 
striking down Roe vs. Wade in the process of making his ruling in 
the Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization case, would  
have been due and duly made public by everyone in the realm 
of politics. The left-wingers, sadly but predictably, made 
equivocation, snark, and just plain old nastiness.

"This is what a democracy is," proclaimed the White House Press 
Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Gee, your dumbfounded Peasant never
knew that democracy included behaving in a threatening manner 
toward one with whom you politically disagree with. One learns 
something new every day. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, that 
towering intellect from New York, cracked "It's all very unfair to
him ... The least they could do is let him eat cake" on Twitter.
This, by the way, is the same social media site which suspended, then 
permanently banned your favorite Peasant for saying much milder
things about the Democrats and for announcing what my next subject 
discussed on PWAP would be. To put icing on this particular cake
while reporting on the incident, a bevy of press outlets stated that
by criticizing the mob and defending Justice Kavanaugh and its 
other customers against intimidation, Morton's had chosen which 
side in the "culture war" it wanted to be on. All because they wanted 
to give their customers a safe, quiet, and comfortable setting
in which they could enjoy their gourmet meals. 

I don't think that the lefties' version of democracy is something that 
our free country with its constitutional republic would be able to 
tolerate, do you?
