I have never heard this quote before but I think it has too much truth to it. I also find it kind of funny that one of our founding fathers said such a dark thing about or new countries form of government. But he’s not wrong. It’d be stupid and close minded not to agree with him. Democracy is kind of a fairy tale anyway. Maybe back when we were first founded it could have worked. But with today’s high population and large corporations it’s nearly impossible to uphold democracy. Sure we elect officials to vote “for the people”, but if that was the case we wouldn’t have as much poverty and corporations wouldn’t be making billions and billions of dollars all while hurting the people.

Calling America today a democracy is the biggest joke I ever heard. John Adams was right when he said democracy does not last. Throughout our whole lives we are told that America is this great almighty democracy where the people run the country. Most believe it. But all you have to do is dig a little deeper. Number one, we don’t vote anyone into the higher levels of government. I know you’re not going to like this but voting is just an illusion. We get the idea that we think were in control of who gets elected but were not.  Popular vote just shows what the people want it’s not like they care. They already know who’s going to be president before they get “elected”. They want the one who’s going to carry out their agenda not the peoples.  The Electoral College is proof of this.  It’s where a hand full of elites has more power than the entire civilian population. It’s a joke. The definition of democracy is where the people elect those who lead.

John Adams was right democracy doesn’t last. It’s been gone for decades. Greed took away our true democracy.  I don’t even know how to describe our form of government. It’s some sort of republic totalitarian democratic hybrid built on lies I guess. It is sad that democracy in its purest form cannot survive this world.  But it’s hard with big government and greed. It’s not hard it’s impossible.  America’s not what it was when John Adams Wrote this. I wonder what he’d say now. He’d probably call for
