Dude, you know what's funny? a bunch of uneducated MAGA old farts trying to play Rhode scholars. You guys think the democracy vs republic schtick makes you sound so smart. What it shows is your lack of understanding of basic concepts. The U.S. is a representative democracy. To help you understand that, here's a pamphlet provided by an official federal agency to the immigrants that barely know how to speak English. If they can get it, maybe you guys can too:
If you do have the ability to understand sentences over 5 words, maybe you will get this explanation:
"Writing in 2020 in The Atlantic, George Thomas, the Wohlford Professor of American Political Institutions at Claremont McKenna College, found "some truth to this insistence" on calling the U.S. a republic but added: "It is mostly disingenuous. The Constitution was meant to foster a complex form of majority rule, not enable minority rule."
So, have fun circle jerking with your MAGA friends, your mental masturbation over a fake technicality won't change the fact that "we the people" are represented by people we elect.
