More than that I wonder why they act like they have an exclusive right to define what is and what isn’t “a threat to our democracy”.
Acting like that is a sign of authoritarianism, not democracy.
I guess "Arsenal of Constitutional Republic" didn't roll off the tongue as easily...
As I pointed out in another thread, they like “Freedom of Worship” too, vs Freedom of Religion. They want to confine our faith to church on Sunday mornings, not in the public square.
DEMOCRACY is 3 wolves and 2 sheep deciding what’s for dinner!
Democracy is more ambiguous. If democrats and liberals follow a pattern, it’s the use of words that either lack context or mean the exact opposite of what is really intended by them.
“Our democracy” is a code word for “our crime syndicate”.
North Korea is Democratic.
Democracy - the people directly decide what to do
Republic - the people select a group of elites who decide what to do
The problem is our elites have failed. They pursue their own self interest rather than the nation’s. Does that mean we should become more democratic and less republican?
Also.
I pledge alligance to the flag and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands.
Congress critters should be disqualified for not citing that....
Mob Rules and they are a Mob
Mainly because theyre ignorant of their own history
A democracy eventually becomes nothing more than a rabble. It is much more simple than a republic. Little or no intelligence is required to manage or participate in a democracy. A republic is about responsible, thinking liberty. We no longer have that. The principles of republic have been hijacked by the rabble of democracy and greed.
No.
Stupid people (er, half the country) eat it up.
Helps them rationalize why they vote against their own self interest.
A fundamental recognition of this fact is required if we ever want to be in the majority. Language definition and usage is a battlefield. Our policies and ideas are not even recognizable by half the population. Their meaning of words is completely different than our own. The words we regularly and deem as innocuous have been perverted by groomer teachers and leftists. There are entire generations that think the language we use is hate speech. Apologies for using their vernacular, e.g., ‘hate speech’.
But the main reason they don't want to use "republic" in a positive sense, may be because they want people to be scared of "MAGA Republicans."
Language changes over time. That's what Democracy means now. The term "True Democracy" refers to one person one vote on every issue and is distinguished from "Democracy".
You're fighting a losing battle. You're failing to recognize reality as it is now. And you're wasting your time.
Nope. Their misnomer is deliberate and as clear as crystal. What I find to be infuriating is that there are “Republican” members of Congress that have bought into this bastardization of the language and openly refer to our system of Government as a “democracy” rather than a Constitutional Republic. The Communists among us are happy with this.
Because it’s shorter/more convenient.
I don't think they are aware of this though because they are, as a group (make that cult), in some kind of hypnotic trance that seems to have developed by living in a Marxist echo chamber.
Another word for their cult is "mass formation."
I agree 100%
It also posses me off when democrats refer to themselves as ‘the democratic party’
They are the democrat party, and there is no democracy allowed except for when saying ‘we must save our democracy’
