Guess the Tucker Carlsons of this world don’t understand nor apparently care about the difference between the tyranny of democracy and the freedom of a REPUBLIC.
America is NOT a democracy, it is a REPUBLIC!
Article IV, section 4 of the US Constitution.
“ America is NOT a democracy, it is a REPUBLIC!”
Stop your nonsense.
The republic died a long time ago.
At least it's supposed to be.
I’m sure understands the difference. And though mentioned in the substack title, didn’t notice the term in the excerpt.
There are two different meanings for tha same word. One uses democracy as something specific- a direct democracy that holds plebiscites & referendums & is voted by the people directly (i.e. no middle men representatives or constitutional limits/50.1% majority rules); the other is the general term describing the governments of free people- governments of the people, whether direct democracy or through representative government. It’s obvious used in the latter context, not the former 🙄
