[ That’s hilarious. So you’re alleging that the Founding Fathers set up an autocracy run by an elite? ]

America is not a democracy nor is it a democratic republic..

America is a Constitutional Republic.. thats WHY democrats try and are trying to make the Constitution obsolete..

and are being pretty successful..

You’re confused. Are politicians elected in the USA, or do they inherit their positions in government from their fathers? Do we have a president for life, whose father was the previous president? Do we have separation of powers and the rule of law, or not? You’re the one that implied that the USA is ruled by elites and that the Founding Fathers set it up to be so. The definition of a “republic” cannot exclude the people choosing who represents them in government; otherwise it is not a republic. The same goes with a constitutional monarchy, where the difference is the monarchy and the trappings thereof.
