Zach Gittrich responded to Part 1 on one of his Facebook pages. I know of three:

Both Zach and Brad must have been educated by the activist public school system. Things that have always been true aren’t taught. Meanings are twisted to fit a narrative. I wonder if this is what Cody Hendricks teaches to his civics classes at Olympia? Olympia parents?

I love using AI to educate people who oppose data centers. Grok:

AspectPure DemocracyRepublic
Decision-makingDirect majority vote on laws and policies (everyone participates)Representative government — people elect officials who make decisions
Limits on powerMajority will is supreme; fewer formal restraintsConstitution, rule of law, and separation of powers limit what the majority can do
Minority rightsVulnerable to “tyranny of the majority”Stronger protections for individual and minority rights
StabilityCan be more volatile and changeable with shifting public opinionDesigned for greater stability through institutions and written limits
Head of stateNot necessarily defined (can exist under various forms)Typically no hereditary monarch; power is vested in elected or appointed officials

The far left want a pure democracy. They want to be the two wolves arguing with a sheep over what’s for dinner.

A republic protects the sheep. A democracy serves lamb for supper. The left want to be 100% in charge of everything with zero opposition.

Remember how the radicals want to get rid of the electoral college? They want minority voices removed from presidential elections. Most of the country would instantly be turned into the sheep controlled by big city wolves. The framers were geniuses, the left wants them erased because facts get in their way.

Get it yet? Zach and Brad never will because they just want power. The people who interacted with the his comments probably won’t ever figure it out either.

Yes, Zach laughed at his own post:
