They say that democracy is a really bad way to run a society, but it is better than all the rest.

So they say. But how does a republic sound to you? That's the form of government we began with. We eventually lost it to become a "democracy." Or whatever it is we are now.

Gimme a break. Representative democracy is democracy. A republic of democratic states is a democracy.

A true democracy will eventually become chaotic and will fall into the hands of a tyrant.

However, it appears that representative democracies and a republic of democratic states becomes decadent and falls into the hands of a faceless oligarchy, i.e. the Deep State.

Are we better off being led by people we don't know whose agenda is unclear?
