Mike Lee, apparently, has some concerns about democracy.
This could be argued of pretty much any Republican lawmaker who has endorsed the party’s voter suppression efforts and total supplication to an authoritarian president who won’t commit to a peaceful transition of power. But on Thursday morning, the senator from Utah went ahead and tweeted it himself. “Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and [prosperity] are,” he wrote. “We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that.”
Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and prospefity are.
