Do you want other people running your life?

The American Enterprise Institute says that fewer than 30 percent of U.S. millennials believe it’s essential to live in a country that’s governed democratically compared to 72 percent of those born before WWII. When millennials knock the idea of democracy, they have no idea what they are talking about.
Without economic liberty, personal liberty, and a constitutional republic we don’t have a truly free country. Non-democratic governments always move in the direction of more power for those in control. It never goes in the direction of personal freedoms.
Thirty-two percent of Americans want a strong leader that doesn’t have to bother with a parliamentary process or elections. Let that sink in.
Now we have a President doing things that are blatantly unconstitutional and it seems that people just don’t care. Fewer and fewer people care about the Constitution; they say they just want to see things “get done.” Which explains the rise of Hillary and, to some extent, Trump.
And now 49 percent of U.S. citizens approve of “experts,” not government, making decisions that they think is best for the country. This trends toward authoritarianism is skyrocketing among those people in the higher-income brackets.
Do you want others to run your life? Because that’s what you are doing when you put an authoritarian in charge.
