Technically the 16th Amendment (1913) makes America a democracy (and republic simultaenously), which as I DID say, its shouldnt be.
No amendment could make America a democracy...
Because democracy is Mob Rule... by mobsters..
Only way America could become a democracy is when Mobs Take over.. and one of them becomes preeminent..
Two Mobs currently run America.. maybe you have a point..
But America has an even bigger problem.....
Has America become Sodom and Gomorrah?.....
Totally pissing off "GOD"?
Might explain how a lazy no account Marxist could become President..
Republicans may be having a circle jerk while America prepares to elect him again..
