Go do a survey of Americans of any age, any educational level, and ask the question: “Is the United States a democracy?”.
There’s the problem.
That is because of 12 years of brainwashing in the public skools——being told we are a democracy over and over and over and it becomes the “truth” tp the braindead. Obama tells us that OVER and OVER —and so do the Republicans most of the time. It is a LIE-—we are a Constitutional Republic which does NOT believe in mob tyranny of the minority/individual=democracy.
They don’t know what a democracy is, either. Thus the greater problem.
