narwhalJohnson: We're Not A Democracy, We're A "Biblical" Republic And Separation Of Church And State Isn't Real
GhostalmediaThis “not a democracy, a republic” crap is becoming more and more popular on the right. They’re not even trying to hide the authoritarianism and fascism any more. They’re now openly saying they don’t support democracy.
gregorumA republic is a type of democracy. This guy is an idiot. 
JoseNot necessarily, North Korea is technically a republic.
No, it’s not. They have a hereditary head of state who enforces his rule with control of the military.
That is why it is technically a republic, but not in practice. The constitution says it is a republic, and they actually have an election, well “election”, but of course in practice that is not how it works at all.
The US is also technically a representative democracy, but in practice, well…
I’m saying it’s just a lying monarchy.
A pile of shit isn’t a rose because you call it a rose. You’re just lying.
You are not reading what anyone is writing. You are not disagreeing with anyone here, you are just not reading any of it.
It’s not “technically” a republic because it has a hereditary ruling line. Period.
You weirdly angry goon.
It’s “technically” a republic because they celebrate elections, yes really, but the vote is not secret and there’s just one candidate. Unsurprisingly, 100% of the votes in favor of Kim Jon Un, with zero absence and zero null votes. It’s “technically” the will of the people, legally speaking.
