Nice, but I think the use of the word republican loses its message. Yes I know it wasn’t Republican, but do you think that most Americans will know the difference?
They are trying to destroy republican principle, which has nothing to do with party. I understand most dems and leftists will see it as partisan in that way...but many others will know the difference, and it will lead to opportunities for education, which will reveal those who use it in the wrong sense for the hacks they are.
If they don't, we need to educate them. With a 2x4 if that's what it takes.
The word democracy or democratic appears nowhere in the Constitution, the word "republican" does, capitalized no less:
Article IV, Section. 4. The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government
Of course that went away, with "one man, one vote", which with the Supreme Court dictating a "democratic form of government" to the states, did exactly the opposite of what the Constitution says. And the Warren Court knew exactly what they were doing. REYNOLDS V. SIMS 377 U.S. 533 (1964)
They overturned the same sort of "compromise" and balencing of interests that the entire structure of the federal government is based upon, just at the state level. This decision led directly to the domination of most both houses of almost all state's legislatures by urban, or at best suburban, interests.
Look for a Constitutional amendment to do the same with regards to the US Senate, never mind that the Constitution forbids such an amendment.
