The Ugliest Presidential Election In History:
Fraud, Voter Intimidation And A Backroom Deal.
Is this a story about the events of November 3, 2020? It could be. It should be. But it is the 'reporting' of events of November 7, 1876.
Unlike this time, there were incidents of impolitik electioneering practiced by both political parties. The most heinous acts were committed by Demoncats utilizing 'repeaters', or duplicate ballots and by their paramilitary 'Red Shirts' preventing Negroid Republicans from voting. (There's another historical reference that red is the traditional color of leftist/statist/totalitarian governance.) In perhaps the weirdest twist in the history of American presidential politics, to which I can find no Constitutional basis, a special Electoral Commission of five Congressmen, five Senators and five Supreme Court Justices elected Rutherford B. Hayes 8 to 7. Just before Inauguration Day, 1877, Congress declared Hayes the winner by one vote in the Electoral College. A bipartisan deal was struck at the (ironically) Negroid owned Wormley's Hotel, in which Demoncats would allow Hayes the victory, on condition that he immediately withdraw federal troops from the former CSA. That ensured the suppression of civil rights for Negroids for another century, under Demoncat rule of force, rather than republican rule of law. If Demoncat Samuel Tilden had been chosen as President, he most likely would have exercised the same prerogative as Commander in Chief, without any deal making necessary.
144 years ago, it really didn't matter. Either man, or either party would adhere to and promote some form of the principles and practices of capitalism. Now, a gross of years later, there is a gross difference. The modern Demoncat/Dummycrap party has moved across the political spectrum's center point from an overtaxing and overregulating capitalist welfare state based on need, rather than ability to an outright totalitarian fascist/socialist state based on collectivism, rather than individualism.
That question is as relevant today as it was in 1776. Of course the number 3,000 is dreadfully low and the words "and appointed bureaucracy" would follow "elected legislature".
Of all the truths which I have learned as an educated political scientist and as an informed American, even more than political parties, bureaucracy is the beastly behemoth that will destroy democratic governance, so that we, the people will never know the names or faces of all those who killed us. We'll know a few, like Doctors Fauci and Cohen.
