| Screamapillar said: *All* democracies are flawed. We don't need a hyperbolic, sensationalist headline to tell us that. We're not legally nor technically any less of a "democracy" than we were on January 19th. Should also note that the US is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. In fact, the Founders detested the very idea of a true democracy. A democracy means mob rule, that the 51% can tell the other 49% what to do. Our system actually serves to protect the 49%. |
we'll see in the next 4-8 years how much the 54% (of actual voters) that didn't vote Trump are actually protected from the despotism of the 46%
