Please don’t take this personally, and no offense is meant toward you, but it drives me insane whenever anyone refers to our government as a democracy.
It is a REPUBLIC! The Pledge of Allegiance does not say ... “and the democracy for which it stands.”
Don't take this personally, but a republic is a form of democracy. Saying the USA is a republic and a democracy are both true statements. It's not an either or thing. A rebuplic, by definition, is also a democracy.
You’re splitting hairs. The point is that the Left never refers to the US as a “Republic” because it is the foundation for “We the People”. Continually referring to it as a democracy - even if it is also a democracy - is deceitful and intentional, and designed to manipulate the narrative. Canada is a democracy and has a completely different form of government from the United States. That’s why Canada is a lot further down the road to Communism than the US is. A democracy is NOT “a government OF the People, BY the People, and FOR the People” and the loss of this understanding is why things have gotten so far out of hand.
I totally disagree. The problem is not that we have a democracy (which we do, in theory). The problem is that we have rigged elections and the will of the people is rarely carried out because the actual results are fake.
That was the most ludicrous and ridiculous attempt at comparing two completely different situations, that couldn't be different in every way, shape or form to push a tired and completely dishonest talking point. Did this corrupt, fake hack write a sob story about the actual insurrections/riots of the summer of 2020?
Well they’ve already started one in my family with the 2020 election cycle and this Covid bullshit. When things hit the fan, I will be flying the black flag. No MF’in quarter. You took something precious from me.
They can't hold their power if we follow the constitution and the rule of law. I believe that is what makes us a republic (was a new concept for me, i did not learn this in school).
A true democracy would result in the most populous states deciding for all states what the laws would be. They would vote away the constitution (instead of using case law to eradicate and obfuscate).

Ok, vent over, I’m good now.
There are some pedes here, bless their hearts, who have never known a representative constitutional republic. Maybe soon.
I think civics class in required in some states still.
I certainly was required to take a Civics/government class in high school to graduate, and I know it's still a requirement.
Was referring to pedes abroad, but you are also correct.

Yes that’s correct.
They fear losing our corporatocracy. And for rightful reasons. But a civil war is the death spiral they should fear most.

The fact that Canadian msm is telling its sheep to prepare for a very right wing US government has me so JACKED!
OSHA mandate being upheld and overturning of Roe v. Wade in SCOTUS will be what sparks it.

...the presentation is flawed, but the premise is accurate....
