We’re NOT a democracy, we are a republic. We have to change that to Republic Day!!
Actually it is "Republicanism."
But you get it.
Definition: Republicanism is the ideology embraced by members of a republic -- a form of government in which leaders are elected for a specific period by the preponderance of the citizenry, and laws are passed by leaders for the benefit of the entire republic, rather than a select aristocracy. In an ideal republic, leaders are selected from among the working citizenry, serve the republic for a defined period, then return to their work, never to serve again.
Republicanism stresses several key concepts; notably, the importance of civic virtue, the benefits of universal political participation, the dangers of corruption, the need for separate powers and a healthy reverence for the rule of law.

From these concepts, one paramount value stands apart -- political liberty. For Republicans, political liberty entails not only freedom from government interference in private affairs, it also places great emphasis on self-discipline and self-reliance. Political liberty keeps government out of individuals' lives (unless to do this threatens the republic as a whole), it also prevents the government from becoming a guardian to its individuals. The role of government in a republic is to safeguard the collective republic.

In other words Republicanism is EVERYTHING the liberal and progressive wanna-be communists hate.
They (the communists) that have infested the "democrat" party and are currently infesting the "republican" party are engaged in destroying the Constitution as it locks this nation into Republicanism.
I believe the communists will ultimately fail miserably as we have seen a textbook example of that attempted usurpation fail in a spectacular fashion with President little bammy.
This is in addition to the track record of 100% failure of communism everywhere and every time it has been tried.
We do however, need to keep up the fight to preserve this nation.
Thanks for your time!
