The constant labeling of America as a “democracy” is intellectual laziness at best, deliberate deception at worst.
Our media and political establishment either don’t know or don’t care that we’re a Constitutional Republic. The distinction matters because it’s the entire point of our system.
The Founders built a republic specifically to prevent tyranny of the majority. Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on dinner. A constitutional republic is where the sheep has inalienable rights the wolves can’t vote away. If you don’t understand this, you don’t understand America!
