Democracy (hexbear.net)

"America is a democratic-republic, not a true democracy. In a true democracy, majority rules. If a majority wants you killed, you die. That's why a true democracy is actually insane." - some dude I work with

This is one of the goofiest things I have ever heard him say, and he says a lot of dumb shit.

It's a common thing rightwingers say—"America is a republic, not a democracy!"—because they know at some level that their ideas are not popular and that if elections in the USA were actually fair, they could never win. I think it's true, though, that amerikkka is a republic—a slave republic, just like Athens and Rome, where the only people with any kind of political power are the ones who got rich by crushing everyone else.
