No, its a Republic with a very nice Constitution. But, that's not true anymore. We're not a democracy any longer because our votes don't count.
Voting stopped being effective and the democratic process started to end when homosexual "marriage" was arbitrarily imposed onto us in Massachusetts and California - both times by activist judges one or both of which was were homosexual. Just before this happened, both of these states had put this decision to multiple popular referendums, which is about as pure as a democratic thing as you can get. It is, after all, simply counting ye's versus nay's. On more than one occasion, these ballot items did NOT pass! Period! So, when the activist "judges" decided to overturn the will of the people they invalidated the democratic process, which also means homosexualism was instrumental in the destruction of democracy. But that was the start.
Since then, its become very clear that the voting system itself is fundamentally corrupt. I simply do not believe there wasn't a massive red wave a few weeks ago - vote for more economic deterioration, wokness, and pedophilia? Come on! The whole fetterman situation, a mental invalid, being elected and the obvious chicanery with that election is evidence enough. Of course, the 2020 election too was a fraud. Central to all of this is mail-in balloting. But, honestly, mail-in or not, it really comes down to who counts the votes versus who votes. Don't forget that the people behind this corruption operate on a firm belief that the ends justify the means, so, if rigging elections is unethical but the end-state is "good" then riggling elections is good too.
I don't know what we are now, but we're not a representative republic or democracy. We're in some kind of Jacobin stage, except this time we have nuclear weapons.
