In terms of values regarding the proper role of the people, the PDRC is equally undemocratic. A highly hierarchical view permeates the ethos of the movement. The popular grassroots supporters of the ruling government are deemed to be unworthy of holding political power. Metaphors comparing and equating government supporters to children or even to untrained animals aim to disqualify a large majority of the population from effective citizenship. Thus, election results are considered to be invalid not because of the actual mechanism behind the vote count but rather by questioning the actual value of a person’s vote in comparison to someone else’s. Not only this is blatant discrimination but it shows a deep aversion to one of the integral values of a democracy, people’s power.
