First of all, we are NOT a Democracy. We are a Representative Republic. The leftist school system in the U.S. has been preaching this “Democracy” garbage to our children for generations.

We are a representative democracy.

Have you ever voted in a congressional election? That's democracy.

Have you ever voted in a statewide election? That's democracy.

Incorrect. That is characteristic of republics, not democracies. There is a distinction, no matter how much proponents of democracy insist otherwise; the chief end rests on whether constitutions of law are permanent, resulting in stability (republic) or changed wilfully according to the aims of power-hungry politicians (democracy).

High school civics classes in the 1980s were teaching that the USA was founded as a “representative democracy” instead of a republic. They were lying for decades.
