Why do you ignore the very definitions of the words?
Why do you do that?
The terms have meant what they ahve meant for their entire exsistance.
You dont get to change that for some unnamed poltical reason.
The words dont belong to your party change at a whim.
As the Founders understood it, "democracy" was essentially mob rule, as they witnessed in their own lifetimes over in France. None of the Founding Fathers referred to the American form of government as a democracy. Upon leaving the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin was asked specifically
what form of government the convention had left Americans with. Franklin, who was keenly aware of what a democracy was and was not, answered "a republic." Regardless of how political scientists today want to categorize things, or how much progressives want to distort our language and rewrite our past, the Founders explicitly avoided creating a democracy, opting for a republic instead.
Twisting the definition of words is a Lefty speciality.
