Daft citizen mentality must go, not in the 21s Century

There are two aspects to this daft mentality of the people in a democratic country. On one hand, the daft masses must know their rights as citizens of a democratic country, that they are not slaves to the politicians. They are the masters and citizens of a democratic country. Can’t say this if it is a kingdom or mafiadom where the people have no choice but to elect thugs and gangsters to rule over them. In a democracy, any politician that the citizens don’t like, no matter how smart or how smug, they would be voted out, especially the arrogant ones, and those that talked cock and done nothing useful. This is what democracy is all about. The country belongs to the people and the people decide who they want to run the country every four years or whatever depending on the country concerned.
 
Why would citizens want to elect politicians to bully them, treat them like serfs, take control of their life savings and dictate terms to them, how to use their savings and not returning to them when they badly needed the money?
 
What about the mentality of the politicians? They must be reminded that they are also ordinary citizens in a democratic country. The people must remind them that they are elected to a fixed term of office, not for life, and to serve the people. Elected politicians must not think they could use public office to chart their personal career paths and how much money they could take from the public coffers, not in a democracy.
The politicians in a democracy must be told not to think that they are elected to decide what the people can say, can read, can see, and how to shut up the citizens. This is not their grandfather’s kingdom and they are not kings or royalties that can dictate to the people at their whims and fancies.
 
Politicians must be reminded that they should not abuse their power to make civil servants do their biddings, to brow beat the people. The civil servants are there to serve the people with pride and dignity, not the interests of political parties and politicians. The people and country’s interests come first, not the interests of the political parties. The civil servants and uniformed services must be reminded that it is their duty to serve and protect the people, to obey the constitution, the rule of law, to execute their responsibilities fairly and justly to the people without fear or prejudice.
 
It is so frightening to hear politicians talking so casually about how to control the people, what the people can say and cannot say, what they can read and cannot read as if it is their God damn right to do so. It is very frightening to imagine that politicians can abuse the civil servants, the uniformed services to serve their private interests and agenda, even against the people in a democracy.
 
How can the people of a democratic country allow this to happen? The ignorant and subservient citizens must stand up and say no to rogue politicians that behaved like gangsters and mafias to bully the people. This is not what a democracy should be, this is not democracy. In a democracy, the politicians listen to the people and serve the people, not the other way.
 
What kind of democracy do the people want? What kind of daft mentality is it that a people would vote politicians to rule over them and to screw them left and right, and they cannot do anything about it, and fearing every moment of their lives what the politicians will do next to them? What kind of people will do such things in a democratic election? What kind of mentality is it that a people fear the politicians, the same ordinary people they elected to represent them in Parliament and to form the govt?
 
The above is a generalization of how a stupid people in any supposedly democratic country could behave and how they could be ruled by democratically elected rogue politicians and become a helpless people after an election. Can such a thing happen? If it does, it is so pathetic, so unbelieveable. This is the 21st Century.
