Republic or democracy?
In a recent column, Mr. Emmerich states: A popular vote can be overturned in many ways, but Trump has failed to muster the firepower to make it happen.
Instead of firepower, it should be enough proof to prove it was fraud involved, according to the Supreme Court.
In all my searches in the news, I haven’t found any that mentions a republic, only democracy.
The Orlando Sentinel apologizes to their readers for endorsing Michael Waltz in the 2020 election for Congress.
We had no idea, no way of knowing at the time, that Waltz was not committed to democracy.
A GOP Hill staffer who works for one of the 126 Congressman trying to overturn the election: Never thought my work would include trying to destroy democracy.
These 126 House Republicans are trying to undermine our democracy, includes two from Mississippi, Rep. Guest and Rep. Kelly.
When people lose faith in the electoral process, they are losing the most important part of democracy, Dragomir says.
Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the election is just not weakening American democracy, Fruedenstein says, but also democratic governments all over the world.
Texas messed with democracy and lost.
The Supreme Court was Trump’s last chance to make an end run around democracy.
Disinformation endangering democracy all over the world.
And here’s one I will never forget: When Bush took us to war with Iraq, he says when Iraq becomes a democracy like our government, they will like it so much, the other Arab countries will want it too.
Keeping on looking for a republic.
