You’re an idiot!
Democracy is the death of a representative republic. They are diametric opposites.
Are y'all seriously worried that we are going to abandon a republic and adopt a one for one vote on all matters? I don't even think we are in danger of throwing out the electoral college and going to a popular vote for President.
On the scale of things to worry about, o's use of the word democracy is infinitesimally small.
I eagerly await the video our Biker Friends visiting D.C.!
“Let not your heart be troubled.”
His lovers excuse is “He didn’t mean it.”

Presidents, especially cognitively limited presidents, do not define words that have had firm definitions for millenia.
You should have stopped at “Idon’t think,” because that is the truth.
On the scale of things to worry about, people like you that sluff off reality so easily are at the top of the list.
Apparently the word dates back to Ancient Greece, and was used extensively by the Romans to refer to a "Representative government".
No, it was used in Greece to refer to the type of government that destroyed them.
There were no representatives, just a general plebecite to the people for evry issue.
Same in Rome, they voted themselves “bread and circus” to death.
Rome was a representative government. That they voted themselves “bread and circus” to death is relevant. If you don’t think that can happen in a republic with the kinds of people we are electing you’re wrong.

The US was a republic until the 16th and 17th amendments.
"We're certainly not a one for one vote or Obamacare would never have passed. We're still a republic. Maybe an moronic republic with strong hints of idiocracy, but a republic.
