Democracies Die, but Republicanism Lives On

The leftist website Vox.com posted an article on Friday entitled, "How democracies die, explained." Of course, it has to do with the president, but they add, "The problems in American democracy run far deeper than Trump." Well, bully for them.

The article's author, Javier Zarracina, explains that in days gone by, democracies would fall "In coups and revolutions, burn in fires and riots, collapse amid war and plague. When they die, they die screaming."

They are all educated, and as such must have at least been exposed to republicanism and how it differs from a democracy.

The nature of a democracy is devoid of checks and balances.

It is why all democracies eventually succumb to the tyranny of the majority.

Unlike a republic, a democracy allows for the temporary passions of the public to overrun reason and directly affect laws.

All repeatedly attempt to use the two synonymously, in an ongoing effort to shift the public from the safety and security of republicanism to the Wild West of democracy.
