The forefathers established the United States as a Republic of States and not a Democracy. This provision was to maintain the power of the states as opposed to losing it to the collective wishes of the country as a whole.
The socialist’s grab bag, leading into this 2024 election, is just jammed full of sound bites for their mindless minions. Conceding that they must and will finally select the most plausible empty suit to run against Trump, their next trinket is twofold: furthering their promotion of democracy along with their drum beating about the supposed …
You cannot get through a day without hearing a politician cite a threat to our Democracy. This statement is factually incorrect.
