This 'quote' is attributed to Benjamin Franklin; "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch." The obvious assertion is that classic democracy is governance by the 'demos' which means people WITHOUT safeguards for the lamb, ie. the minority which exists in ANY DISPUTE!

Any scholar, not already blinded by prejudice, will tell you that the FOUNDERS (Men & Women - read the letters between John & Abagail Adams) sought a limited government that would be INCAPABLE of trampling the minority in their rights and freedoms. Thus the US Constitution, a document that created a RESTRICTED Federal Republic while listing enumerated RIGHTS available only to the STATES (Federal) and the people themselves!

For those who forget, the Second Amendment is what permits the following; "Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!"

“no, but the republic is hanging by a thread”

Anyone else notice recently even the right is now starting to parrot this “Democracy” concept and lie?

They are folding and capitulating to the Psyops...
