Excuse me? America was doing just fine until the infiltration. Brussels (EU) hates America and everything America stands for. And Britain never got over a bunch of American farmers, blacksmiths, silversmiths, carpenters, tanners, cobblers, tailors, gunsmiths, merchants, traders, lawyers, doctors, surgeons, tavern keepers, and commoners kicking their ass out. So they used groups like Antifa, Code Pink, CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations), The Southern Poverty Law Center, BLM Global Network Foundation, ACLU (modern incarnation), Teachers unions (NEA, AFT), Legacy media institutions, and Hollywood to sabotage her. You should stay in soft totalitarian progressivism that borrows certain instincts from the Marxist playbook without the economics, Canada. Canada operates as a managerial-technocratic state with an enforced progressive orthodoxy. The economy is mixed — resource extraction, banking oligopoly, real estate speculation — none of which is straight-up Marxist, but thanks to the CCP, it’s coming. The ideological problem isn’t in the mode of production. It’s in permission mode. And for the record, America isn’t a democracy; it’s a republic. The founders were explicit about this. They didn’t just prefer “republic” as a synonym — they actively distrusted pure democracy. James Madison in Federalist No. 10 warned that democracies “have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention” and are “incompatible with personal security or the rights of property.” John Adams said democracy “never lasts long” and inevitably “wastes, exhausts, and murders itself.” A republic is a system in which the people hold power but exercise it through elected representatives operating under a framework of law that limits what the government can do, even with popular support. That’s why we have a Bill of Rights — things the majority simply isn’t allowed to touch, no matter how many votes they have. Why people get this wrong The “America is a democracy” line got pushed hard through public education and media for generations. Partly because “democracy” sounds warm and fuzzy — power to the people! — and partly because blurring the distinction makes it easier to justify things like: - Executive orders that bypass Congress (pure democracy vibes: one person enacting the “will of the people”) - Referenda and ballot initiatives that let 50.1% strip rights from the other 49.9% - Attacks on the Electoral College and the Senate as “undemocratic” — which is exactly the point of them The Pledge of Allegiance doesn’t say “and to the democracy for which it stands.” The Constitution guarantees every state a “republican form of government” (Article IV, Section 4). The founders knew what they were building, and they chose their words carefully. The practical stakes: when someone says “that’s undemocratic” as if that ends the argument, they’re revealing they don’t understand — or don’t like — the system they live under. Sometimes things are supposed to be undemocratic. That’s the whole idea.
