Too many Americans think they live in or want to live in a democracy.

For nearly a hundred years the media and politicians have spoken of the US as a democracy,fought wars “to make the world safe for democracy”,”spread democracy” and other mistakes.

Democracy is nothing more than mob rule!!

I have heard many Americans say “majority rules” which is .of course democracy,not the republic which guarentees all basic rights regardless of the current popular opinion.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on "what's for lunch."

Rome started as a Republic. Then certain politicians talked up democracy to get elected. They got a dictator. And never looked back.

Amen to that! As the saying goes, democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.

Unfortunately, this 62% mindset is what inevitably happens with a government school system.

Majority rule with minority rights.

Majority rule without minority rights is mob rule.

Minority rights without majority rule is what we have now

Minority rule is, prima facie, tyranny (monarchy, oligarchy, dictatorship)
