There’s No Republic in the Republican Party Anymore
Over the years, I have heard or seen countless statements from conservatives, Republicans, etc. about the United States as a “republic, not a democracy.” This theory holds that republics are not supposed to be democratic, which is erroneous, and that … Continue reading
Trick Or Treat
