I get it.
Much like pedophile is an umbrella term for Democrats.
Although there ARE Democrats who are pure pedophiles.

We never finished our discussion in the other thread.

democracy: another word that has become useless because we can't agree what it means.

I never did.
Democracy is not found in either the DOI or the Constitution.
The Founders rejected the form of government, outright.

I do. It’s a little more complicated than that, because we were never meant to live in a straight up Democracy. Instead, we are a Democratic Republic.
But if I get your drift, that the way people vote doesn’t matter anymore, I disagree with that. If Trump had gotten more than 47% of the vote he would have won. He beat Hillary Clinton in the Electoral College, in spite of being beaten badly in the popular vote.
Now, Democrats have plenty of reason to think our democracy is flawed, having won the popular vote twice recently, yet lost the election.

Arthur Jensen to Howard Beale (Network, 1976):
"There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon.
Those are the nations of the world today."

The democrats and elites want us to believe we live in a democracy so that they can rule like emperors over the mob. Much harder to control a republic

Democratic Republic
Sound great and smart yet
The terms are mutually exclusive.

When the left/globalists scream about "democracy", it's a false reality. They're actually decrying the shift away from their march toward curated totalitarianism that benefits them, exclusively.

It's a constitutional republic of democratically elected officials. This assumes of course that there's no voting fraud which there obviously is.

No they are not. A Republic is a country which is governed by the people and their representatives. The representatives are often elected through a democratic process.
