Nothing gets me more fired up than when someone calls the U.S. a democracy. When someone does it in a conversation I always correct them. We're a Republic not a Democracy and there is a BIG difference.
Couldn't give cr@p if they're embarrassed or not. My attitude is, if your going open your pie-hole to virtue signal about our political system, you'd better make sure you know what you're talking about.

I so agree on this. It may be the number 1 pet peeve of my life. The current lack of education in our nation on this very issue is appalling. If somehow I were allowed to institute one change in These United States it would be that no one be allowed to vote without having a proficient knowledge of our Constitutional Republic.
IMO no one should receive a high school diploma without understanding our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Yes, I know it's an unrealistic dream or expectation. However, in my mind, the knowledge of our basic government falls just after knowledge of the Word of God. Again, my opinion, but I feel our founding documents flow from the knowledge of God held by the crafters of our government
