MT GOP Legislator declares “Democracy..has failed”

Joins a growing list of MT GOP members who are attempting to subvert Democracy

Helena, MT – This week, Kalispell state Rep. John Fuller wrote an op-ed that declared “democracy is a methodology of government that has failed as miserably as socialism.” His shocking op-ed attempts to argue that protecting democracy should not be a legitimate goal of a government, because democracy is “tyranny.” 

Rep. Fuller goes as far as to equate the tyranny of American democracy with the tyranny of the British colonial monarchy. 

With his latest op-ed, Rep. Fuller joins a growing list of Montana GOP members who have either advocated for the whole-sale dissolution of democracy or worked tirelessly to dismantle its frameworks.

“It is shocking that the Montana GOP has grown so radical that they’re arguing that Democracy is a failure.” Sheila Hogan, executive director of the Montana Democratic Party said. “The MT GOP sounds more and more like Russian propaganda every day.”
