‘The Day Democracy Died’

Posted on February 15, 2020 by Jim Wheeler

Just when you thought Herr Trumpster had mastered social media, a modern musical Thomas Paine has risen to the challenge! Hope you enjoy this as much as I.

This toe-tapping little ditty is brought to you by our Founding Fathers. Full lyrics are on YouTube. Someone put a lot of work into writing these lyrics and making the video, yet there’s no one credited on the YouTube site. Given our society today, anonymity might be a wise move. (Or maybe it’s just to avoid a lawsuit over copyright infringement?)

The moniker “famous ignoramus” will be stuck in my head for a long time, and I’ll probably never again hear “American Pie” without thinking of this video.
