RE: The Downfall of a Destructive Democracy
Article is factually incorrect and very misleading. Do you know the difference between a republic and a democracy? In a democracy you have a vote on every issue, in a republic you choose some moron to vote for you.
Both systems can either be constitutional, or not. The real reason the US is a republic is that in the time of its founding, the technology to easily run a successful democracy did not exist.
The United States considers itself a democracy today and we do elect morons to vote for us. So it is the same in both.
All the democracies of the past have failed and so will all the ones in the future. It is mob rule and more than half the people can take the rights away from the other half of the people. In a republic, everyone has the same rights and their rights are protected. In a republic you won't get benefits from the government, because the government won't have much power.
