Your headline: “…We WERE a Republic…”. The verb is so apt. Please know you are making an impact and don’t lose faith. God bless you
Also, thank you for all you write for us. You speak my mind everyday and sharing your messages is a mission. Are you on GAB?

01/18/22. REmark: “There is no better indication of philosophical and intellectual bankruptcy among the sane and non-criminal than the failure of one’s position to be able to persuade and create harmonious consensus in free speech open debate, and instead relying on the use of force or the threat of force, fear, intimidation and censorship, to achieve compliance – clear indications of destitute failure and philosophical and intellectual bankruptcy. Force may work once, and then it breaks things. …”. Quote from R.E. McMaster 1/18/22. I believe that is an accurate statement regarding the political class, big pharma drug pushers, big tech, legacy lying media, all government agencies. Who is John Galt? TEXIT!

A republic IS a democracy, a democracy via representatives rather than a direct democracy.
What made America distinct was that the government was limited in powers by a Constitution.
The distinction you should make is between a republic and a constitutional republic and, specifically, one that enshrines the individual’s and the people’s rights within the Constitution.
Republic vs democracy is a trivial and meaningless distinction.

This is what Benjamin Franklin was asked when he signed the declaration of independence by a reporter. He replied back, A republic if you can keep it!
