by Rod Williams, May 4, 2026 - In Facebook exchanges with idiots or sometimes in face-to-face exchanges with them, I will say something like Trump is a threat to our democracy or we must defend democracy and the person I am talking to will say, "We're not a democracy; we are a republic."
It is exasperating. There is no use even trying to engage such idiots. I try to explain that a republic is a form of democracy, but I think it goes over their head. Sometimes, to preempt the retort, I will say, "Trump is a threat to our republican form of democracy," but that should not be necessary. A republic is a form of democracy. America is a democracy.
