Damn! That pesky whole due process thing 😄. Maybe I'm wrong but me thinks the "vote blue no matter who" crowd is setting themselves up for a giant disappointment followed closely with vengeful anger. On a side note, I'm wondering when the DSM is going to add TDS as an official diagnosis.

 

 

Messianic Trump Syndrome: The “Shared Psychosis” of Trumpianity

by Bruce T. Gourley | Oct 18, 2023 | Feature, Opinion

 

I am your voice.”

“I am your warrior.”

“I am the chosen one.”

“I am your retribution.”

“I’m being indicted for you.”

The “I am” statements keep coming from the self-proclaimed messiah who in reality is a malignant narcissist, pathological liar, sexual predator, career conman and America’s biggest criminal—and a man that millions of white American Christians actually believe is their messiah. His dark charisma is so appealing to so many that for much of white American Christianity today, being a follower of anti-Christ Trump is their very identity. 
 

There is a backstory to this madness: Much of white American Christianity—from enslaving Black people to racial apartheid to violent resistance to human rights—has long marinated in white pride and an overriding lust for power. Anti-Christ Donald Trump is the historical dark side of white American Christianity on steroids: unquenchable authoritarianism with an endless capacity to punish anyone who stands in his way of obtaining ultimate power.

There are many “ Republics “ ..just look at  DPRK 😂

 

This is what we teach out new citizens, though: 

 

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/lesson-plans/Government_and_You_handouts.pdf

Democracy in the United States
The United States is a representative democracy.
This means that our government is elected by citizens.
Here, citizens vote for their government officials.
These officials represent the citizens’ ideas and concerns in government.
Voting is one way to participate in our democracy.
Citizens can also contact their officials when they want to support or change a law.
Voting in an election and contacting our elected officials are two ways that Americans can participate in their democracy.

The problem is that this isn’t taught to natural born USCs that go through the atrocious public education system.

uh huh...........and from the pledge of allegiance.............

In its original form it read:

"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

In 1923, the words, "the Flag of the United States of America" were added. At this time it read:

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
https://www.ushistory.org/documents/pledge.htm

most likely what you cited was the us intentionally "dumbing" things down as most don't know what a republic is.
lastly, whatever some tin pot dictator wants to call his backwards country should have no bearing on the usa being a republic.

 Since our language is dynamic and changes with time , I am inclined to think American Democracy is a good fit. ..as Constitutional Federal Republic is a bit formal . 
 

Not to mention Republic is indeed used liberally 😂 ..consider ROC , PRC

Trumpettes serve up 'mega MAGA' menu at gala featuring Trump World stars

The Donald Trump fan club Trumpettes' promised "mega MAGA" event lived up to its billing Saturday night at Mar-a-Lago.

PALM BEACH — The Donald Trump fan club Trumpettes' promised "mega MAGA" gala lived up to its billing Saturday night at Mar-a-Lago.

Actor Robert Davi improvised a version of Frank Sinatra's "My Way" in which he crooned "Trump did it his way." U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia decried "communist Democrats" she warned are "coming after your money." And a rough-hewn, hardline immigration proponent said to be on Trump's list for a Cabinet-level post vowed "we're going to fix this (expletive)" at the southern border.https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/trump/2024/02/11/trumpettes-mega-maga-gala-features-trump-marjorie-taylor-greene/72490253007/

I do wish the bloody colonials would stop trying to mess with proper English!  Inventing new words, because they’re too lazy to accurately define something with the words already in the dictionary, redefining words because their original meaning offends sensibilities and causes temper tantrums, removing the letter “U” from words and not increasing its Scrabble value, etc., etc.

The only British-English word/spelling worth keeping is "tyre," si man.

The time in writing and typing that we bloody Colonists have saved by eliminating the superfluous "U" from all your words is why we Colonists have the greatest nation ever (well, pre-Bidementia) and why the sun has set on the British Umpire.
