    Episode 2 Democracy
    Aug 25 2024
    Kirk, in the inaugural episode of "The Mob Rules" podcast, contemplates on the misconceptions surrounding the democratic system and the structure of the U.S. constitution. He elucidates that contrary to popular belief, America is a republic, not a democracy, aiming to protect the rights of the minority from mob rule or the tyranny of the majority. Kirk discusses the governing system structured by the Founding Fathers, embedding the system of checks and balances to prevent a single branch from gaining excessive power. Towards the episode's end, he ponders on the recent political activities and the Democrats' attempts against Donald Trump to retain power, viewing these as potential threats to a peaceful power transfer. Aimed at promoting critical thinking and questioning, this podcast episode provides a unique perspective on America's political system and the current political climate.
