We are a republic not democracy so I did not read much of the propaganda.

Liberty trees often had two flags one with the word Liberty on it and another with Unity on it before the revolutionary war.

Fair enough, but we’ve been a democratic republic 1913. Scotus regards the franchise (and abortion), and not liberty, as a fundamental right.

If this is your notion of propaganda then you need read more of it.

The American Founding Fathers were well aware of the failures of previous attempts to create democracies, which is why they established the United States as a constitutional federal republic rather than a direct democracy.
