I’m sorry to say that many Americans would scrap their Republic altogether in exchange for some magic beans.
Too many Americans think they live in or want to live in a democracy.
For nearly a hundred years the media and politicians have spoken of the US as a democracy,fought wars “to make the world safe for democracy”,”spread democracy” and other mistakes.
Democracy is nothing more than mob rule!!
I have heard many Americans say “majority rules” which is .of course democracy,not the republic which guarentees all basic rights regardless of the current popular opinion.
