A republic enforces the rule of law,equal justive for all. A democracy is a mobocracy and minority interest get "specialized rights" that arent always equal for all. The trial of Jesus was the most infamous democratic vote of all . A mob said crucify him and give us barabus the murderer.

Pilot, a Roman judge, tried, judged, and sentenced Jesus to death for fomenting rebellion against Roman rule.
Don't know what Gospel you read, but no trial by jury in the Roman Empire and certainly not one where a Roman oppressor would do the bidding of potentially rebellious subjugated vassals.

Jesus bar Abba was not a murderer, he was on trial for sedition.

But wait, there's more! The seditious Jesus bar Abba that was released may have actually been THE Christed Jesus of lore (Messiahs do what? Lead rebellions against occupying oppressors AKA sedition!) Yes, Yahweh interceded and saved him(self) from getting tortured further and murdered by heathen Gentiles after all.

But never mind, even if that was the original story, good luck finding accounts of it.
Makes you wonder though, doesn't it?

Mob rule is LESS likely to grant "specialized rights" to minority interests. That's one major reason why we have our Constitution, system goverment, the Electoral College, Congress & Senate, judiciary... to give a voice to the otherwise drowned-out-by-the-crowd marginalized. Hence our Constitutional Republic.

I really don't get this. (it's also not an original meme). The kind of democracy that the United States is is a Constitutional Republic, but that is still a kind of democracy. There has to be a reason for this meme, something else behind it. My guess - you can tell me if I'm wrong, you're worried about gun rights, you think that the majority would pass more gun controls but that is a right enshrined in the constitution. Is that what this is really about?

I believe that. But sometimes these things are in the air, or you saw a similar meme and forgot, and it's just in your subconscious.
