Only about half of young Americans in a poll released Wednesday say democracy is the greatest form of government.
A poll from The Economist/YouGov shows that among U.S. adults surveyed, support for democracy is strongest among older Americans, but it declines in every subsequent younger age bracket — with the weakest levels of support among adults younger than 45.
Only 54 percent of U.S. adults ages 18-29 agree with the statement, “Democracy is the greatest form of government,” including 21 percent who agree strongly and 34 percent who agree somewhat. Another 34 percent say they neither agree nor disagree, and 12 percent say they disagree.

Democracy sucks.
But... Have they heard about this new fangled Constitutionally-limited Federal Republic? Someone came up with it a couple hundred years ago and it supposedly works great if you keep government LIMITED.

Hell, they're right!!
The PROBLEM is that these products of years of MARXIST government "education"(right!) prefer a Marxist totalitarian dictatorship to the REPUBLIC the Founders TRIED to leave us.
To: ChicagoConservative27
We are and “democracy” gets thrown around far to much on both sides.

They're right. Democracy is a terrible form of government.
Representative Republics are better.
A representative republic presided over by a benevolent Catholic monarch is best.

A benign monarchy, faithfully subservient to Christ the King, is best.
The representative republic we’ve got pales by comparison.
To: ChicagoConservative27
They are correct.
A Republic is much better and lasts longer.
If you put in the work.

I don’t know what world they’re living in. We are a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy.
