We see those in media, the government, and academia, continually refer to the United States as a democracy. Trouble is, it is not a democracy, it is a Republic. But when you point this out to people, they continue to refer to the US as a democracy anyway despite agreeing with your assertion, saying there are democratic aspects to the Republic, so who cares about saying the US is a democracy? Why are such inaccurate mythical truths important?
It is important because the Founding Fathers were horrified of a pure democracy, but why? It is because they were horrified of mob rule, but even if you disagree, you then have to answer the question, why did they set up a Republic instead? You had a Senate that was not directly elected by the people as states legislatures decided who would sit on the Senate to help defend state rights. You had an Electoral college the prevented the most populace states from deciding who won every Presidential election, you had the states running pretty much everything as the Federal government served as a referee between the states, etc.
But all this has changed or is changing. Thanks to the Left, those on the Senate are now elected directly by the people after the Constitution was amended by them, and now the Federal government runs everything from health care to education and pretty much everything else instead of the states, and the Electoral college is attacked daily as the last standout against a purer direct democracy.
So, what is so bad about democracy and mob rule? Is it not power to the people, and does the Left always champion democracy? Read on to better understand.
When democrats were trying to pass Obamacare, they barely had enough votes to pass it. But then Senator Kennedy revealed he had brain cancer and needed his vote. So, the democrats scrambled to change the laws so that there would not be a runoff election to replace him, fearing the replacement would nix the Obamacare vote. However, for whatever reason, they failed to change the laws in time, and the people of Massachusetts elected a Republican for the first time in decades who ran on stopping Obamacare.
You would think that the Blue state of Massachusetts would be all for Obamacare, but they had Romneycare and liked it and did not want the inferior Obamacare as they elected Scott Brown to stop it. However, the scheming democrats were not done thwarting democracy as they used Reconciliation to pass it which bypassed the vote from Scott Brown, and the rest is history.
And today, as we see poll numbers showing Biden will lose, Blue states are beginning to try and take Trump off the ballot, once again showing their disdain for democracy which they purport to be the sole defends of.
In reality, the reason democrats lean toward a pure democracy is because they control the media and academia, and thus can steer support through propaganda. Look at any academic study and you will see that the Left dominates both the media and academia, the only two sources people get their information from. But that is never enough on some issues, such as the public not supporting such things as partial birth abortion. If you put to a vote partial birth abortion, democrats lose in almost every case in every state. So, what did the Left do? They let Roe vs Wade disappear that did restrict such things as partial birth abortion. That then led to states deciding laws on abortion. The Left then entered Red States like Ohio where they proposed constitutional amendments to allow abortion once again, only unrestricted by the government, allowing the patient and doctor to decide what is best. Again, if left to a direct vote, partial birth abortion never passes, but if obscured in legal wording with the premise of letting women have access to abortion again, it passes.
This is why in Red states you will never see a state constitutional amendment get voted on regarding parental rights, or stopping partial birth abortions, or supporting gun ownership. Virtually every Constitutional amendment proposed people can vote on that will pass, is a Left-wing agenda.
In short, democrats are experts in using democracy as a tool for their tyranny, and any democracy that dare stand in their way will get crushed.
