When anti-war protesters are labeled "hecklers". When the major repositories for patriotism are the military and professional sports, it's best not to look too deeply into the mirror: it has already fractured and the reflected image likely won't be pleasant.

I think I've figured out the problem. They've changed the definition of "democracy" and didn't tell us. Now it means "the right of the political and economic elite to do whatever they want to further their own interests without any interference from the commoners." If you use that definition every time you hear them talking about "democracy", suddenly it all makes perfect sense.
