“using using “Our Republic” to try and appease Senators,”

No kidding?! I missed that.

Yeah, these are bad hombres. I suspect if we ever were able to mount a challenge of any consequence to them... most of us would find out we have seriously misjudged our opponents.

Yep, they sure were. In all the news briefings during the trial too. Pelosi, Schiff, Schummer, House counselors, all of them. My wife and I noticed right away because that particular deception is a big deal around here with the older Grandkids and the lies their teachers spout at them. First time they said it my wife and I looked at each other and said “did you hear that?” at the same time.

And you are right, they know exactly what they are doing... These are psychological tactics right from Goebbels play book.

...The Founding Fathers created a representative democracy, not a democracy....

George Washington rode a white horse, which is not a horse, because everyone knows white horses can't be horses.

Like that.

Indirect Democracy Law and Legal Definition

Indirect democracy refers to a system of government in which the people control the government through elected political officials. The elected representatives represent the people as opposed to the direct democracy which is a system where people make public policy decisions directly through referendums or initiatives. This is also called a republic or a representative democracy.

A democracy would render the Electoral College irrelevant.

No, the ignoramus is you

Because the correct sentence should be: has ditched Civics class, and doesn't know about indirect democracy.
