Get the dedsers mug.To destroy democratic norms, and the power of the voters to determine their destiny. This is done by limiting the rights of the public to vote, limiting certain types of people from voting such as minorities, or parts of the US such as Puerto Rico or Washington DC, limiting access to polling, gerrymandering districts, giving certain voters more value than others, removing people from the voter rolls, not registering people who registered, limiting times when people can vote, limiting polling places, greatly expanding the time it takes for people to vote especially on election day, having faulty voting machines, poll taxes, literacy tests, faulty ballots and voting machines, tossing ballots, etc. In some cases like Washington DC and Puerto Rico, they have no representatives in Congress.
In some cases, de-democratization can occur after a free and fair election when the politician does not carry out their oath of office and gives greater weight to certain special interests. In some cases, a politician may have extreme biases and fail to allow a fair competition of ideas during public participation and legislative debate. In some cases, this is because the politician took bribes, was given special favors, made significant campaign contributions, or because of inappropriate political pressure from the party.

In the US, to dedemocratize ore democracy is as old as our constitution. From the start woman, most blacks, and even non-land owners were not allowed to vote . Senators were originally appointed by politicians, and the president has never been chosen directly by the people.

Get the dedemocratize mug.
Da "brilliant" realization dat you arrive at in your mind after seeing dat da object in question looks, walks, and quacks exactly like da familiar water-fowl, and so da only obvious/rational conclusion is dat said extra-oily-feathered creature is indeed what it appears to be.
It really drives me up da wall how so many government bureaucrats take a month of Mondays to make even a simple deducktion, and then they finally say, "Well, whadduh ya know --- I guess it actually IS true dat ___! Amazing!"

Get the deducktion mug.A "no-brainer" or super-obvious reasoning-conclusion dat even a dimwitted lunkhead should conceivably be able to figger out on his own.
In E.A. Poe's classic detective-novel "The Purloined Letter", da wily Auguste Dupin is able to make a simple deduhction as to da letter's location' something dat da methodically-overthinking and "arbitrarily operating by da book" police chief had been unable to puzzle out himself.
