We’re not a Democracy, so I would hope it to be attacked. Democracy is the Derp State deciding which Stalinazi puppet to install in the White House.

“Democracy” and “women’s rights” are left wing or neocon concepts. Let’s work on restoring the REPUBLIC first.

It's been that way since the 1960s at least, and probably as far back as the wannabee dictator FDR.
