It’s not a democracy you stupid pole smoker.
One of the key reasons that we are in the shape we are in is because of the incessant braying that we are “a democracy”.
This is one of the things the lib/progs use on their mindless apostles to validate and promote mob rule.

"One of the key reasons that we are in the shape we are in is because of the incessant braying that we are “a democracy”."

It's a word trick, and you can blame Thomas Jefferson for it.
You see, when he & Madison first started their opposition party (opposed to Federalists like Adams & Hamilton), Jefferson called himself a "republican", but he was also known as fond-of the "democratic" French Revolution, and so his Federalist opponents called them, mockingly, "Democratic Republicans".

Well, turned out, Jeffersonians liked that term "Democratic Republicans" and soon enough even dropped "Republicans" to become just "Democratics"!
Indeed, they long referred to themselves as "The Democracy" and there was some truth in that they eventually favored extending voting rights to every man "free, white & 21".

So that term for Democrats, "The Democracy", lives on today, slightly modified as, "Our Democracy".
Now, when you hear snowflakes saying Donald Trump is a threat to "our Democracy", you can understand they mean "to our Democrat party", which of course would be true, if "Our Democracy" weren't so efficient at stealing elections!
