"We are a constitutional republic. We are not a democracy."
"We are a constitutional republic. We are not a democracy."
"We are a constitutional republic. We are not a democracy."
The virus is out there. If we do not keep ourselves inoculated with the truth in healthy doses, we will likely succumb to Democracy Dementia.
If you hear your friends or loved ones refer to our nation by the d-word, immediately apply CPR (constitutionally proper resuscitation). As first aid, point out that our Constitution established us as a republic. If they continue to rave, bring them face to face with founding documents like the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Be brave. Let them see the actual words. This may be their first viewing. Apply liberally (yes, you heard me).
Lastly, take them back to their childhood. Digging deep into their past might drive the disease from their souls. Have them recite the Pledge of Allegiance. See if they stammer across "republic" or are able to handle it fluently.
Some may be roused from Democracy Dementia with no lasting consequences. Some cases sadly cannot be cured.
Lex rex!
