NOTHING could be more important than this. Our democracy hangs in the balance.

Our democracy? I thought we had a Republican form of government.

Let's see:

I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the United States of America.
And, to the Republic for which it stands...

Yep. We're a Republic.

I'm just joshin' with ya. Don't give in to democrat lies. Words mean things. We do not have a democracy. We have a Republic.

Any time you hear some say that we have a democracy, correct them. Don't let democraps define the terms we use. (same with illegal aliens)

FIFY. Yup, democracy is a totalitarian manifestation not a form of freedom. 2 imams and a hillary slut deciding who gets to have the clitorectomy.

Right! ALWAYS correct a person when you hear or read “Democracy”.

We’re a “Constitutional Republic”.

:-)

OK, but quibbling over words seems trivial in view of the damage this massive scandal is doing to our country and people’s faith in its democratic processes. Its like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Words matter, but the ACTS of subversion and sedition and their consequences matter more.

The point is, there is a cabal and a plot that has, and still is to this moment, undermining a duly elected president who was chosen by a majority of the states. And there has been a breakdown of justice at the highest levels of law enforcement. Even worse, federal agencies and resources have been weaponized for political purposes. As far as words are concerned, some may call it treason.

Yes, as Ben Franklin said “ A Republic, if you can keep it”.

The Founders never used the word “democracy” except in a representative republic sense.

Because they knew, and history has continued to show— that a so called pure democracy always leads to dictatorship and tyranny.

The democrat party was founded on the notion of political machine control-— using the newspaper media (all over the country with names like...

Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Tallahassee Democrat
Albany Democrat-Herald
The Johnstown Tribune- Democrat

etc. Some of which faded away or changed their name— but most were part of the dem machine.

And now.... the internet and their giant tech pals, and TV. Ultra lefties now and they are fooling no-one, but their stupid diehard “base” and uninformed newcomers/ illegals.

Thank you for your post.
