“Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.”

We are a Republic!
We are a Constitutional Republic and anyone over 40 who calls the USA a democracy, has been brainwashed. This is the main problem with our leaders today. Sadly it is almost over, never thought I would see the day.
If you tell a lie long enough it becomes the truth.

Amen, now on to FFFF
And democracy is just mob rule
Two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner.
Must have been about 30 years ago the place I worked at had a training program that demonstrated the superiority of collective decision making over individual decisions. Involved hiking/camping in a wilderness. My individual score ranked as surviving. The group score, after everyone ignored my advice to follow Mr Charismatic, ended in death for all involved.
Or as the US War College calls it “mob rule at the ballot box”.
USA is on-trend to lose reserve currency status in about 105 years, the same duration as Portugal, Spain, The Netherlands, France, and Britain before it. As the duration before failure is the same, the extra level of indirection between a direct democracy and a republic appears to have made no observable difference in performance. Nor did women voting.
105 years, I need some of whatever you’re smoking
I think he meant 1-5 years.
I think it’s “about 100 years (total) as a reserve currency”.
IIRC there have been about eight different ones throughout history

A Republic it is….however with a education system that blurs the truth and indoctrinates rather than elevates the truth. The internal pressure of the lies will in the end over power this truth. History repeats itself as the masses will look for a easy path out.
