Some people skipped one too many classes. Or maybe the word Democracy triggers them?

Actually a republic represents neither democracy nor the lack thereof.
The U.S., Germany, France, Italy, Israel all being republics and democracies
China, North-Korea, The U.S.S.R. (when it still existed), also republics are/were not democracies.

Of course, it shows how some people are now refuting the idea they live in a democracy, simply because... Democracy could also end their ideas when the majority votes otherwise, so suddenly democracy doesn't suit them. I heard other opinions about democracy from them when the majority was more in line with them.... how convenient...

Actually, I believe it is a more petty reason

Democrat=Democracy

nuff said

"Republic" means "not a monarchy". The US is a republic because we don't have a king.

"Democracy" means "rule by the people". The US is a democracy because we the people elect our government.

Norway is a democracy but not a republic, because they have a king.

Venice was a republic but not a democracy, because they were ruled by nobles.

It's not that difficult to understand, "Republicans".

Our pledge also literally says, “and to the Republic”

Yes, it is a republic. It's also a democracy. You know the founding fathers didn't write the pledge, right?

Haha yes. This comment was a long time ago lol. It’s not a true democracy if you want to call it that; it’s a representative democracy.

Which is what the meme says I suppose😂 Either way, it doesn’t much matter. People calling each other Nazis is sort of pointless. We are all Americans.

Yes, it's a representative democracy. It's a democracy.

Whatever dude.

If you like republics but don't like democracy, there are plenty of non-democratic republics you can move to. China, North Korea, Syria, Uzbekistan, Libya, Iran. Please pick one and stop trying to make the US non-democratic. The most basic foundation of the US is democracy.

No those aren’t republics, they’re dictatorships, etc. If you want to argue world politics, educate yourself or maybe just use common sense. Get lost.

Who's the hereditary monarch of the People's Republic of China? Who's the king of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea? Does the Republic of Uzbekistan have any princes or princesses? What royal family rules the Islamic Republic of Iran?

Face it; you're wrong, dumbf**k. Go take a civics class.

The United States is a democratic republic. Lying about the history of our nation to grab power for yourself won't work. This nation was founded on opposition to tyranny. We will defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic (that's you).

You're trying to subvert the principles the country was founded on. Trying to overrule a democratic election and replace it with a dictatorship. You are the enemy.

1. How am I an enemy? I’m a strong conservative, a member of the literal constitution party.

2. I said that many “republics” around the world are indeed dictatorships and are very corrupt. Fortunately, that doesn’t happen here, no matter what you call it. We are a free country (for now). Also, there’s no need to call me a df and an enemy. We are one nation under God. I’m not your enemy. The enemy is within you.

No, it's me.

There's no such thing as anarchy

WTF do you mean?!

Wow, nice grammar!!!!!111!!!!111!! ;) If you know what I mean...

I do !!!!11111!!!!!
