The authoritarians and their ever-abiding media minions of the fascist far left have always striven to lie with language to further their socialist national agenda. Their most recent project is conniving to convince everyone that we’re a “democracy” instead of a constitutional republic — for several reasons, but the most fundamental is that if they can change the foundations of our Republic, they can change anything.
The far left has always laid claim to a counterfeit “right” to change the definition of any word they choose for their momentary convenience. George Orwell hinted at this in his dystopian epic 1984, with his essay on “Newspeak.” And they even have the cojones to bring these redefinitions up in their gaslighting efforts. Just mention the collectivist agenda of centralized control of “that Swashbuckling Little Politician” and his merry band of manure-colored Iggys, and they’ll instantly lay claim to the right to define the word “socialism” in any way they see fit.
Lying with language has always come naturally to the far left. Leftists just come up with a good language lie and keep on repeating it until it becomes the “truth,” beginning with their ever-present self-labeling lies of liberal and of course “progressive.” The people who want to rip up the Bill of Rights and eviscerate individual liberty still love to imply support for the concept with that false label — and sadly, far too many on the pro-freedom right still blindly follow along with them in this deception.

Yes, that’s correct.
And Ben Franklin said it best.
France is a VERY good example.
Note to self: Absolute MUST read!
But, but, America is a democracy. /s/
...and they aren’t lying when they make the claim that individualists, vs collectivists, are wanting to destroy “our democracy”.
It was not democratic practices, like elections, that they feared, but they feared the tyranny of the majority and they tried to fashion divisions and separations of powers that would stymie the majority from becoming a tyranny.
I always find it very disturbing that the word "democracy" is thrown around when people talking about our nation. The USA was not founded on democracy, as the article states, but as a constitutional republic, a representative republic. There are many efforts across the nation to try and circumvent the electoral college and go to a majority vote system, in which case the nation would further devolve into chaos.
