To bad that we live in a REPUBLIC and not a social democracy as explained in Article 4 Section 4 Clause 1.
To the contrary.....Our founders proclaimed that a "pure democracy" was historically the worst form of government, especially socialism...as it always ends in violence and revolution. As detailed in Federalist No. 10
Thus, the Republic of the United States of America is in no way a pure democracy.....it was designed as a republic and must be governed as a republic by constitutional degree. When its attempted to be redesigned as a democracy....the results are always the same...violence and turbulence.
Simply look at the violence now taking place.....its from the left, its nothing but random mobs attempting to destroy private property under the guise of freedom of speech while the criminals hide in the crowd with the hope of anonymity.
As I have said many times. Our founders were genius loci. Their spirits are still protecting us from the "FOOLS" within our society that simply want to take from their neighbors without ever contributing to the Republic that protects them from their own stupidity.
