America was founded as a constitutional, representative republic. The word “democracy” was used exactly zero times in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.
The modern mis-use of the term “democracy” is intended to persuade voters that the Democrat party is more in-keeping with our founding. It is not. It is a socialist/marxist party that is trying to destroy America.
And BTW, the correct term for that lost party is Democrat, not democratic. A democrat is a party or person.
As in you are a democrat and part of the democrat party. And the vast majority of Wyoming citizens are Republican and part of the Republican party. “Democratic” is a process, not a person or a party. As in we elect our representatives using the democratic process, in our Republic.
