From the Democracy Index (Wikipedia)

We were never a democracy. We're a federalized republic. Democracies at a large scale are prone to inefficiency and dictators.

Also, this chart is just leftist BS. Canada is ranked #12 as a "full democracy" but the Canadian military occupation of a church in 2020 and Dictator Trudeau's handling of the trucker convoy would disagree.

The ranking is for 2021, and the trucker thing started in 2022.

Morons don't understand what being a Republic means

this meme is garbage.
