Exactly my point.

A vote used to be a promise of violence.

In other words, you were heavily invested in it and would fight to protect it.

No one else's opinion matters because they are not invested in it and are not willing to fight.

The Founding Fathers detested democracy, which is why they gave 1/2 of 1/3 of the federal government to a democratic element, and even then it was representative democracy.

I think people think that we area democracy. Even in our bastardized form which is very much NOT what the FF intended, we are not a democracy at all, and that's by design!

Specifically...

The senate was not originally elected by the people. The state legislatures would appoint them. They were meant to represent the states themselves, not the people.

The president wasn't an elected position (and technically still isn't.) The state legislatures were to appoint electors without knowing who they might vote for. These electors would all meet on the same day in their respective capitols and choose the best person they could think of to serve as president and vice-president.

In short, the way it was supposed to work looked like this:

* Only white landowners who were descended from the original stock or naturalized (by the government, there is no other way) are allowed to vote.
* These landowners elect their state legislators and a state representative to congress. This ends their participation in the "democratic" part.
* 51% is all it takes to get 100% of the seats in a state or in the House of Representatives. Thus, there was never meant to be a 50/50 split in these bodies. It was always meant to heavily favor one side.
* The state legislators choose their governor, their judges, federal senators and the federal president (by proxy).
* The Senate and the House determine the laws and budget and taxes of the federal government, with strict limitations on what they can do.
* The president (originally) could only veto and only when he felt it was contrary to the national interest or unconstitutional. He was never really meant to use the veto power. It was just a check to keep congress from going crazy. The president was expected to avoid internal affairs. The Speaker of the House would take leadership on domestic affairs.
* The president appoints judges and the senate confirms. The judges rule on cases not on whether or not a law is constitutional. (Congress and the president decide that, not the courts.)
* The military consists of the militia and that's it. If there's a war congress can raise an army to temporarily fight that war, but the bulk of the recruits will come from the militia.
* There is no police. Any police powers belong to the president, the governors, and the people themselves.
* When the whole thing goes tits up (which is inevitable with any government) the white landowners are meant to overthrow their government and start over from scratch. Any obstacles to that effect were to be removed, such as depriving people of the right to denounce the government or the right to bear arms to fight the government.

Regarding God, if you believe anything Locke wrote, the correct form of theocracy looks like this:

* God gives responsibilities and rights to the people, NOT government.
* The people are meant to delegate SOME of those responsibilities and rights to the government on a TEMPORARY basis, and for a SPECIFIC purpose.
* When the government goes off the rails (which is inevitable) then the people were supposed to REVOKE that privilege and create a new government.
* The specific form of government is irrelevant. Whether it's kings or congress or whatever, it doesn't matter as long as it respects the rights that God gave man and doesn't get in the way of the people to exercise those rights.

Eh, I prefer the first reich. Traditional White Christian monarchy with a strong aristocracy to provide checks and balances, and it lasted a thousand years.

You're assuming the degenerate scum that would get in our way is ever going to beat us technologically. They can't. They barely figured out fire. If we stopped giving away all of our technology, we would never be threatened by them.

If they ever do figure out how gunpowder works, then we might have to kill them all. But they won't, because they've had thousands of years to do so and at best they blew up a chair with a guy in it.
