Everything this lady says is 100% spot on and will be said in history books many many years from now.

In Book VIII of The Republic, Plato gives a famous account of how political systems decay, moving from aristocracy → timocracy → oligarchy → democracy → tyranny.


When he gets to democracy, he says that its extreme form — where freedom becomes the supreme value — eventually plants the seeds for tyranny. In this setting, the demagogue emerges.

Here’s the gist of his argument:
  1. Democracy’s excessive freedom – In a democracy, everyone is free to live however they wish, with minimal restraint. This tolerance eventually extends to tolerating even harmful or disorderly behaviors.
  2. Equality of all desires – Not only are all citizens considered equal, but all ways of life and opinions are treated as equally valid. The people come to resent any authority or hierarchy.
  3. Suspicion of leaders – Because the people prize absolute equality, they become wary of anyone who seems superior or authoritative. Respected leaders are seen as potential oppressors.
  4. The rise of the demagogue – Into this environment steps a man who pretends to be a champion of the people, flattering them and telling them what they want to hear.
    • He gains influence by opposing the wealthy and powerful, promising to protect the people’s freedoms.
    • He stirs up fear of enemies (real or imagined) and rallies people behind him as their “protector.”
  5. From protector to tyrant – Once in power, the demagogue eliminates his rivals, uses crises to justify more control, and surrounds himself with a personal guard or loyal supporters. Eventually, he becomes a full-blown tyrant — the very opposite of the democratic ideal.
Plato puts it starkly:

The excessive desire for freedom in a democracy ends in its opposite — slavery — when a tyrant arises from among the people.

If you want, I can quote the specific passages in Stephanus numbers so you can see exactly how Plato describes this transformation. Would you like me to pull those?

I guess I just don't understand. How can the president implement a tax? I'm a bit rusty, but I don't remember that being how taxes originate. At last not according to school house rock.

This is great! Every city should start bussing their homeless to Washington, DC. The president said he will find them a place to stay. Trump ends homelessness!!!!!!
