Outside of theory and what the constitution says, in real life is the USA actually a democratic republic?

[Kelley1]

Is it a democracy when, according to Biden, “White Supremacists”, that is, white people that are not woke, represent the greatest threat to our democracy? It is a democracy that prosecutes its political opponents? Is it a democracy that doesn’t believe in free speech? Is it a democracy that insists the worst economy in the last dozen years is actually the best? Is it a democracy when War is Peace?

"Is it a democracy when, according to Biden, “White Supremacists”, that is, white people that are not woke, represent the greatest threat to our democracy?"

Those are not white supremacists. White supremacists are people who think the nation should be ruled by white people not de to merit but due to the fact that they are white.

"It is a democracy that prosecutes its political opponents?"

Generally not unless those political opponents ts are guilty of a crime. If every criminal could simply announce they are running for president against the incumbent to get immunity, our prisons would be empty. That said, it is true that Trump repeatedly had his crowd chanting "lock her up" in regards to his politicalmoppo ends, and has further vowed to go after his opponents if he wins again - not because they are guilty of a crime but because he is fussy for being held accountable foe his crimes.

"Is it a democracy that doesn’t believe in free speech?"

Generally not though fortunately our country is pretty good about it. Worst recent example of our country not being so great about free speech was when Trump had protestors tear gassed because he got fussy about people making fun of him for hiding in a bunker.

"Is it a democracy that insists the worst economy in the last dozen years is actually the best?"

That's more media failure to call Trump out on his lies when he tries to take credit for Bidens economy, because Trumps was such a disaster.

"Is it a democracy when War is Peace?"

Kind of vague but generally not. An intelligent people will understand that unintelligent outsiders will try to take what they have made. And they have to be swiftly put down when that occurs. It makes sense to help like minded countries like Ukraine in this effort, as well.

The Constitution says that America is a Republic.

It specifies clear separation of powers between the 3 branches of government. All powers not specifically granted to the Federal Government are reserved to the States.

In reality, we are a Banana Republic run by a cabal of elite's who have weaponed the government against it's own citizens. Sadly America operates more like an organized crime syndicate than a Constitutional Republic.

Nope. Right now it's closer to a totalitarian pseudo democracy. You get a vote but it's largely meaningless because those in charge will do what they want anyways

[Kelley1]

Very true.

[DJB72]

Read 1984. Clearly Biden did and thinks it's the "Fuckwits Guide to Government".

One step dumber than the Idiots Guide...

[strateguy632]

[jahaims]
