Democracy has always been akin to tyranny (rule by the majority).. Progressives found a way to meld Republic and Democracy into having the same meaning so they can strip away the constitutional protections a Republic offers the minority voice. Now mostly all elected and bureaucratic officials at all levels of government refer to our Republic as a Democracy.

We are a Constitutional Republic with Democratic representation. I cringe every time I hear officials spout that we are a “Democracy” .

There are NO individual rights in a pure Democracy.

They have be “re-educating” the people to understand THEIR form of democracy. They conveniently leave out that we are a representative republic.

My pet peeve for a loooong time! Democracy & Republic are different. Even top officials use the word democracy incorrectly. I’d cite one but the feds are taking notes.
