It amuses me how they're for democracy until they don't get their way, then someone needs to be punished.
It irritates the snot out of me that these idiots believe the US is a democracy, and that far too many people in places of power push that narrative. We really saw the negative effects of this lie when people were screaming that the SCOTUS should be more democratic. There is nothing democratic whatsoever about the SCOTUS, nor should there be.
We are a representative republic. Calling the US a democracy, frankly, pulls responsibility away from our elected representatives. We vote for them to go represent us in DC, on matters of domestic policy, foreign policy, budgets, ect. When they don't represent us, we vote them out. The constant drumbeat of democracy has shifted the responsibility onto the people. Somehow, when DC screws the pooch, which both parties do on a regular basis, under the democracy umbrella, it's the people's fault, at least when enough of the people lack the critical thinking skills and basic knowledge to realize they are being fed a line of bull.
