“A republic, if you can keep it.”

SEE HERE  The word "democracy" is a misnomer applied to the United States.  We are not, nor were we intended to be a democracy.  Democracy is a fancy name for mob rule or even more often for a rule by autocrats pretending to care about the will of the people.  It's been a word used to provide cover for the leftist progressives as they systematically have suborned our republic.  You need to know and understand this and it needs to be reversed although we are so far gone that reversal seems virtually impossible.
