All I hear is we live in a Democracy, which is Majority Rule (mob rule) A Democratic Republic on the other hand is where our Senators and Representatives are sworn to protect the Minority form the Majority. In the pledge of Allegiance we say “in the Republic for which it stands”. Why does all everyone say we live in a Democracy and not a Democratic Republic? In a Democracy if 60% of the people want to steal from the 40% minority that would be ok and that’s why all Democracies are destine to fail.
