Jackson: Fighting CRT and Woke before it was a thing. artificial distinctions, ... to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful, From the Mead article that LB linked in the header: And while Jeffersonians support democracy in principle, they remain concerned that tyrannical majorities can overrule minority rights. Jacksonians believe that the political and moral instincts of the American people are sound and can be trusted, and that the simpler and more direct the process of government is, the better will be the results. I actually agree with Jefferson more, if you consider that the smallest minority is the individual. In these days of mass formation psychosis and government censorship and psyops, it is also hard to agree with Jackson that the American people are sound and can be trusted - at least under our present methods of elections. The devious, not-to-be trusted connivers are able to leverage their way to the top with corrupt methods, building on the coalition of the willing, who willingly suspend their disbelief in the virtue of the artificial distinctions. Jackson's simple and direct process of government allowed patronage to thrive. Not good in practice, but I'd agree with the sentiment. It should be applied to elections, banking - everywhere patronage can influence big decisions more than public opinion under our present form of Democracy™. No wonder the government wants to co-opt crypto and allow elections to descend into farce.
