That is an interesting point. The Republic was structured with certain anti-democratic safeguards, including the Electoral College.

Quite a few safeguards (”...shall NOT be infringed”, A1S8, 9/10th, 5th, 13th, 14th). Never seemed to make a difference to the Socialists, of both parties anywho, when 99% of govt is illegal/unconstitutional (I dare say State as well as Fed).
Bingo - the founding fathers knew that historically, every democracy committed financial suicide as soon as the public discovered they could “vote” themselves money from the public treasury. We are indeed on that path. But for the first time, thanks to our founding fathers and the millions of conservatives, tea party folks and constitutionalists who have all been studying the Constitution, we just may restore our republic!
