Article IV, Section IV of the Constitution states that "the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government."

b/c everything about America is democratic:
rap = anybody can sing
reality TV = anybody can be a star
the lottery = anybody can get rich

She’s right but not in the way she thinks.
We are about to have elections in a couple months. We will have more elections in 2020 and constantly thereafter.
What does this dumb bitch mean? That we are no longer a “democracy” because the people that she wants elected were not elected?

The last thing the liberals really want is a true democracy.
True democracy is a very dangerous form of government.

We started out as a confederacy. The Constitution didn't take effect until 1789.

Stop being pedantic. The word Republic and Democracy are used interchangeably

Well for starters you are wrong. America is a Constitutional Republic and a Representative Democracy!
The two are not mutually exclusive.

Immigration laws have nothing to do with our style of government. At all. She’s just another celebrity who lives in fairy tale land who virtue signals like a saint, but wouldn’t even piss on you if you were on fire in reality.
