It's just thrown around to make it sound as if we don't have a democracy......so no problem if a dictator is put in charge..... right?
Yes it IS a Representative Democracy but that IS a type of democracy, only with Representatives.
Here is the evolution of the terms democracy and republic. In case you want to call our once thriving federal government a Republic which is the word play most people who support pedo Trump use.
"Democracy and republic both refer to government in which supreme power resides in its citizens. This was the important distinction at the time of the founding of the United States, as such a government is in direct contrast with monarchy, in which supreme power belongs to the king or queen alone. In part because that context was clear to everyone involved in the American Revolution, democracy and republic were used interchangeably in the late 1700s. Both words meant that the power to govern was held by the people rather than a monarch, as in England."

But we no longer have any type of democracy, representative or not. The supreme power belongs to pedo Trump.
