This is a well known cliche, but always appropriate:
“Democracy is 51 wolves and 49 sheep deciding what to have for dinner”.
We may have a democracy now, but that’s NOT what our Founding Fathers intended.
BIG DIFFERENCE!
The Federal Gov’t has NO authorized powers other than those specifically enumerated in the Constitution.
Most of the powers it now claims have usurped from the people via a 51% vote of a corrupt, bought-and-paid-for Congress.
Blah, blah, yourself.
We have a democracy and a republic and several other words could be used to describe our constitutional form of government. We have representative forms of those two generic terms.
It’s become fashionable among some to say: The US is a republic, not a democracy. Sorry, it’s some of both and there is a lot of overlap in the definitions.
And your entire post is almost irrelevant because no one word describes our form of government of practically any form of government.
But, keep on boostering for all those republicans like China, Iran, North Korea and others.
You just sound silly pretending that the word republic provides some all encompassing definition of the US form of government. It doesn’t.
