True democracy is a joke

True democracy is a joke | Democracy is the 51% persecuting the remaining 49%. A constitutional republic protects the individual. No wonder progressives keep pushing the notion that the US is a democracy | image tagged in jim halpert explains,politics lol,memes | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Democracy bad. Authoritarianism good. Treatment for crime bad. Legalism good. The left and right are both evil.

Nope. If you don't know the difference between a republic (e.g. a representative republic such as ours) and a democracy, then you really should look into that.

Just to get an idea of where you stand politically, I checked the two memes you submitted, and this question runs through both of them. In both cases, it was explained to you just what type of govt we have.

In one of them, you were actually scolding people about needing to read history and civics books (based on their posts) and suggested that Santa might be giving them those books for Christmas. Maybe Santa wasn't able to deliver those books to you, because I think the difference between a democracy and a republic would be covered in a civics book.

Also, if you enjoy a good spirited exchange of ideas, and you want to discuss how our form of govt relates to the govt "forgiving" student loans, I'd be happy to do so.

I recognize that there is a difference between a republic and true democracy, but the argument you are making here is nothing more than an exploit of the minuscule differences in order rebut an argument that none of your opponents are truly making.

It’s issues like these that we call “Political Theater”, where the parties essentially create problems (CRT, Identity Politics, and this whole Democracy vs. Republic debate) to distract the public from the more pressing issues (Border security, Wasteful Military spending, etc) they cannot, or will not, solve themselves.

These issues remain unresolved because they get the party votes, so if they completely solved a problem, their voters may cross party lines since their issues have been solved. So, in an attempt to look like they are doing things, they use Political theater while claiming the other side is to blame for their big issues remaining unresolved, rather than their own refusal to do a thing about it

I know where I stand on the political spectrum, and it is true that I am more left leaning than the average imgflip user, and, given your meme here, it appears you lean a bit more right. That means it is likely that neither of us will be able to change the other’s mind, but I still do enjoy exchanging ideas with conservatives. If there’s a topic you want my opinion on, ask away, though I will say I don’t have much more I’d like to say on loan forgiveness
