Aah yes, our once Republic indeed. Every time I hear one of the politicians refer to the United States as a democracy instead of a Republic I cringe. And of course never get challenged by the press. I guess Alexis de Tocqueville was correct about the eventual outcome.
If you recall he was the French historian that wrote the book “Democracy in America” which included “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.”.

Or as the President referred to him in an address as Alex de Tocqueville.

I guess Alex wrote it after the Revolutionary War when he toured the country although I don’t believe he had a chance to visit all 57 states while he was here.
