Public service announcement from your friendly neighborhood political scientist:
A constitutional republic is a type of democracy. Saying were a constitutional republic, not a democracy is like saying I dont have a dog, I have a Border Collie. How is this difficult?

"Our Democracy" is actually a Constitutional Republic, Joe.
Maybe that's why you don't seem to understand how any of this works.
Methinks she may need one of those collies... 🦮

Why they think that message appeals to people who vote is beyond me.

(14,697 posts)In her little Fascist mind it goes something like this.
1.) America is not a Democracy.
Because Democracy is too close to the word Democratic. Kari Lake and her Fascist chums hate DemocRATS. They are Socialists, Commies, unpatriotic, and un-American.
So Kari Lake is going to revamp the dictionary and redefine reality to suit her needs for her lust for hatred.
2.) America is a Constitutional Republic instead.
There see,.. now that is so much better. The word Republic is very similar to the words Republican Party. And the Republicans are the only true red, white, and blue - flag waving - hyper patriotic AmeriKKans.
The purpose of the Fascist Republicans are to demean, deface, discount, and debase any/all DemocRATS until the last one has been wiped from the face of God's green earth.
This Constitutional Republic vs a Democracy kerfuffle about America is a backdoor declaration that the Republican Party reins Supreme pertaining to patriotism, freedom, and liberty.
Alternatively the DemocRAT Party needs to be erased from the political landscape because they are bad for the USA. They seek to subvert God's Will. They are not the true Christians. They are all pedophiles. All DemocRATS rejoice and worship at the alter of the devil himself. Jesus finds all DemocRATS to be totally despicable.
These fucking Fascists will not stop until they bring America to the threshold of a hot Civil War.
That is their ambition that is their end goal.
Big Dick Energy - in reference to Donald J. Trump and Ronald DeSantis. - the utterances of Kari Lake.

We'd get up at 2AM/4:14AM/6AM/8AM and replenish bowls.
In their perfect world, we'd also have a fenced in yard (40+ acres) with lots of sheep. And a playground with jumps, tunnels, water hazards.
Aussies ain't bad either!

The LDPR was centred around Zhirinovsky, and is often described as populist, nationalist, or ultranationalist. It has been described as adhering to statism and authoritarianism, and has also been described as fascist, though this label has been disputed.

(15,770 posts)Sure looks like she has been "groomed". I guess that's why the repugs started using that word (groomed) since they knew it would soon be used against them.
