A majority of Americans now believe democracy in the United State is in danger of disappearing, according to a troubling new poll.

It is not in the interest of the gaslight media to remind people we are (supposed to be) a republic.

The Democrat Party WANTS the Republic to fall.

Nobody should have any doubts about this.

Stupid and moronic question to ask. Most “americans” haven’t got a clue what a “democracy” is. The pollsters were shoving their poll up the idiots butts when they asked this dumbass question.

We’re no longer a Republic. We were unable to keep it.

We’ve become a banana republic, except without the bananas - and without the republic.

(This used to be my tagline.)

Depends on WHY they think it’s at risk.

There are plenty of commies out there lapping it up that Repubs are a threat to voting nd elections.

It probably is due to:

1. Massive voter fraud
2. A woke Big Tech
3. Political indoctrination in public schools
4. A media establishment that increasingly looks like Pravda

We HAD a Republic, but because people were to stupid to know that the children of foreigners are all born with the foreign nationality of their parents, therefore not natural born citizens, we lost it.

The only way one is NATURALLY an American is when one CANNOT be anything else.

When one is born with more than ONE nationality, one is not a natural born citizen.

Obama is not and it cost us our Republic.

This is their narrative they are fomenting in the Senate along with the debate they advanced over their voting rights act.

They’re trying to pressure Kyrsten Sinema and Joe into voting for the end of the filibuster.
