When are people—especially those living in the United States—going to understand that the United States is not a democracy? It is a constitutional republic. Stop repeating that you want democracy. You already have something far more intentional—if you can keep it.
There is no such thing as a good democracy. Democracy is majority rule. It’s two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner. A republic is built on individual rights, rule of law, and limited government—not the mood of the mob.
This sloppy conflation didn’t start by accident. The propaganda push to rebrand the U.S. as a democracy took off in the early 20th century, around the time of Woodrow Wilson. The Committee on Public Information (CPI), established in 1917 under Wilson, aggressively used media and education to frame U.S. involvement in World War I as a fight to “make the world safe for democracy.” That phrase stuck.
It was never about preserving the republic. It was marketing.
Remember, it was Wilson who signed the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, handing over monetary control to a private banking cartel. And just a few years later, he imposed the most illegal of violations: the income tax. The IRS was born under his watch.
And if you don’t know anything about the Fed, this is a private bank that prints money out of air. It operates alongside every other central bank under the same model—fractional reserve lending. That means they loan out money they don’t have, backed by nothing but your future labor.
This causes inflation—a silent theft that debases your savings, your wages, your time. It’s an eternal cycle of debt slavery, where you’re taxed on what you earn, what you spend, and what you save—while your money loses value every year by design.
By the way—taxation is theft.
