Why the Left Hates It When You Point Out We’re ‘A Republic, Not a Democracy’
21st June 2024
For as long as I can remember, the Left has been sneering at anyone who points out that the United States is a republic, not a democracy. They find the notion almost as unsophisticated and fascistic as flying a revolutionary-era flag. Others dismiss the democracy/republic debate as pedantic or a semantic distraction. They shouldn’t.
It doesn’t help that every left-wing totalitarian state calls itself the ‘People’s Democratic Republic of X’.
