How has Trump killed The Republic? (we are not a Democracy)

You do know that a republic and a democracy are not mutually exclusive, right?

RW's dont know their ass from their elbow .. dumbest pricks on the planet

Well, apparently martybegan is a fucking genius, he has no problem throwing out our democracy to defend Trump, what an asshole.

Again, we are not a democracy, and what has currently happened to ruin our federalist democratic republic?

We are a representative democracy, just stop being a dumbass, I implore you.

I suggest you stop being the dumbass, the US is a Constitutional Federal Republic.

Constitutional FAQ Answer #76 - The U.S. Constitution Online - USConstitution.net

Q "Is the United States a constitutional republic? Is one of the purposes of a constitutional republic to protect the rights of minorities from the tyranny of the majority?"

A. The United States is a federal republic and a constitutional representative democracy.

The "federal" part is one of three basic types of organization of power — unitary, confederal, and federal. Most nations are unitary in nature (local government with a powerful national government). There are no confederacies that I know of at this time (the U.S., under the Articles of Confederation was one; Germany and Switzerland have also had confederate systems in the past). Federal systems are common among large nations where several levels of government are needed. Australia, Canada, and Brazil are federal as well. Federations do not always work, such as in the case of the United Arab Republic.

The "republic" implies that we have a strong head of state (the President) and elected officials representing the people.

The "constitutional" part means that we have a constitution, which is pretty obvious, considering this site. Finally, the "representative democracy" part means that the people elect representatives to take care of legislative matters. Originally, the only part of the government that fit this description was the House of Representatives. Today, the Senate does, too, and in current practice, so does the Electoral College.

The mere fact that a nation has a constitution, is a federation, or is a republic, does not imply that minorities are fairly treated. It is the content of that constitution, and the values of that federation and/or republic that protects the rights of minorities.

Note that a democracy, in the true sense of the word, does not protect the minority — majority rules.

• the republic of letters

In Parliamentary systems, "government" means the people in power at that time. The "State" is represented by the President, who often has few actual powers.

Keep digging, hack-douche.

By the way a PM can be 'head of state'. which only means a person who holds the highest position in national government, want proof? Here is another definition:

the definition of head of state
noun
1.
the person who holds the highest position in a national government:
a meeting of heads of state.

I know, mind blown, amiright?

Try linking to an article that doesn't get a big point wrong next time.

I guess you were wrong about that, but who by now would be surprised?

The article itself says we are not a pure democracy.

Here you are moving those goal posts, nobody said we were a pure democracy, quite the contrary actually.

Try reading your links first.

Try understanding the links I post first before commenting.

Jesus, we're not a democracy? Fuck you.

You had to elaborate, as such you original statement was WRONG. nothing in your copypasta refutes that.

In a Republic like India, the head of State is the President, the head of government is the PM, and the PM has the power, not the head of State.

In Parliamentary systems, "government" means the people in power at that time. The "State" is represented by the President, who often has few actual powers.

Keep digging, hack-douche.

What in my original statement was wrong? Please, I beg you to point that out.

We do know that you saying the U.S. is not a democracy is wrong.

That a qualifying part of a Republic is a "Strong Head of State" which is 100% wrong. Some have strong ones, others have figureheads, others have something in the middle.

It's not wrong, it's the definition.

Again, the US is a Constitutional Federal Democratic Republic.

Which is a democracy, idiot.

No, it isn't. You quoted something wrong. Man up and admit it.

It has democratic parts, it is not a democracy.

Nobody said the other qualifiers weren't true, you're not just moving the goalposts, you're playing in a different field. You said we aren't a democracy, we are, idiot. We are the very definition of a representative democracy.

Christ, you just keep batting 0 don't you? Definition of Republic:
Definition of REPUBLIC

What did I 'quote wrong'? We are a democracy, we are not a direct democracy which nobody claimed we were. Idiot.

When you yammer around screaming about "democracy" being ruined, you imply the will of the people. However as we have a constitution that tempers that will, your screams for democracy being threatened ring hollow, because we are not a true democracy.

What the hell are you whimpering about? You said the US wasn't a democracy, I said it was and proved you wrong. Can you get anything right in this thread?

You proved nothing. And again, as part of the premise of this thread, what part of our "democracy" is Trump ruining?
