“We do not want to be a democracy.”

So says some in the WA GOP. Their platform supports this. They passed a resolution that says, in part:

“We … oppose legislation which makes our nation more democratic in nature.”

“Every time the word ‘democracy’ is used favorably it serves to promote the principles of the Democratic Party, the principles of which we ardently oppose.”

Other parts make it harder to vote. And others remove the ability to vote for Senators. Their need for a king is now part of the platform.
