    This idiotic link seems to advance the notion that if a nation is a republic it can't also be a democracy. The U.S. is both a republic and a representative democracy unlike, for example, The Peoples' Republic of China which is only one of the two. Guess which, lionfish.

    Odd, I have never heard a democrat politician use the word Republic. Not sayin' it doesn't happen, just sayin' I have never heard it come from their mouths.

    Your ears are bad. The left is well aware that the US is a democratic republic and when asked what kind of government we ended up with Franklin said" A republic if you can keep it" We kept it until Trump came along. Now it is not certain it will continue.

    There is no such thing as a 'representative democracy'. Democracies have no representatives. China is currently an oligarchy, not a republic.

    Because they despise the Constitution of the United States and all State constitutions.

    There is no such thing as a 'democratic republic'. Buzzword fallacy.

    You don't get to speak for the dead.

    Trump supports the Constitution of the United States. Democrats despise it. Democrats want an oligarchy. Inversion fallacy.

    You just heard it then. But Democrats more often than Republicans, I'm sure, know a republic can be a democracy and that the United States, in fact, is a representative democracy and a republic. It's nothing more than a matter of knowing what words mean. Right wingers, however, treat the subject like a religion.

    Prolly because right wingers believe in the words of our founders.

    Right wingers know as much about the Founders as they do about astrophysics.

    There is no such thing as a 'representative democracy'. Democracies have no representatives. You obviously don't know what words mean. All you know is Liberal, which looks like English, but words have shifting or no meaning at all.
