Rep. Brandon Prichard (R-ND)

Direct democracy should not exist. Case-in-point: Ohio legalizing the slaughter of babies. It would be an act of courage to ignore the results of the election and not allow for the murder of Ohio babies. We are probably 10 years away from this opinion being acceptable though.

So just to be clear, Republican Congressmen are saying that they have a 10 year plan to do away with democracy?

The use of the word "allow" here betrays his real belief, that he thinks he is in a position of power to rule over his constituents and decide for them what they are allowed or not allowed to do.

I was thinking even worse, that he's making a call to action for his fellow "patriots" to take things into their own hands.

We'll be back to "pro-life" extremists murdering doctors and patients... to save lives of course.
