I have been called many things over the years. A few of the more “polite”: Liberal, Socialist, Leftist, Progressive, Democrat, Independent. But I am simply a messenger of information.
How can America be a described as a “republic” as it originally was thought to be, if the Republican party demands we are run by “majority rule”, better understood as “mob rule”, which is actually how a “democracy” is run, the very ideology they claim to hate and the reason why many of them try to demonize the Democratic party by calling it the “democrat” party, in hopes people will see a correlation? If we were allowed to run America as a “mob rule”, (think majority making all decisions even if negative for the minority), woman would never have been allowed to vote, as was the case when the majority in New York years ago voted against allowing this, and how the majority in the country voting against allowing black people equal rights as white people, and as in many examples through out America’s history where the majority did not want to allow the minority (woman, blacks, immigrants, gays, the disabled, etc) to have the same rights, freedoms and protections under the law.
