No.
Democracy breaks us up into special interest groups - Blacks, Hispanics, whatevers, each trying to vote itself power and money.
Unity comes through law and its equal application; in other words “A Republic if you can keep it.”

I don’t want to be “Held Together”.

We’re not a democracy. We are a constitutional republic.

We don’t like each other. And we’re rapidly approaching the point where we have nothing in common, culturally or politically. So that would be a ‘no’.

Can a republic as fractured and splintered as ours is...

This is one of the reason I dislike Pat Buchanan.
He has two faces and they're both on show here with these two comments.

He is basically saying a Democracy and a Republic are the same thing when they aren't.
