That's why they are CONSTANTLY calling America a democracy. They repeat that word over, and over again. Even republicans. It annoys me immensely. We are at a point where too many people actually BELIEVE we ARE a democracy instead of the free constitutional republic we are supposed to be. If you convince everyone that our country is a democracy, then you can start acting like a democracy, and then they can take us into tyranny. When people don't know their rights and constitutional freedoms, why we are a rebublic and NOT a democracy, and how our country was established to escape tyranny, and never learn to question anything, you have a perfect playground for tyranny.
