....truly sad.....yes, they absolutely hate with their every fibre the idea of a republic....they preach “democracy” which, of course, is antithetical to a representative republic, which, for the present at least, is what we enjoy....
.....”Democracy, literally, rule by the people. The term is derived from the Greek dēmokratia, which was coined from dēmos (”people”) and kratos (”rule”) in the middle of the 5th century bce to denote the political systems then existing in some Greek city-states, notably Athens.”
But I very much get your point.
