I cringe every time I hear a Democrat politician or propaganda media person talk about “our democracy”. Pure democracy is tyranny of the majority. If you have one person more than half, you can have anything you want with no protections for the minority. That is why we are a republic not a democracy.
Dems and their media accomplices know but most ordinary Americans do not know the difference between a democracy and a republic. Republicans could try to teach the difference by correcting it when they hear it but they don’t speak up for us.
