Here's scary. CNN saying the Trump campaign is creating a conspiracy by calling us a Republic. Why is everything so dramatic with the liberals?

Trump supporters correct CNN and explain that we’re not a Democracy, we’re a Constitutional Republic. CNN loses their minds and suggests that saying that is a threat to Democracy. pic.twitter.com/nO1C0YMigR

Is CNN really that dumb?

Of course they are

I don't think CNN is. I think they just know their viewers are.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.
And to the republic for which it stands.
One nation, under God. Indivisible (yeah, right).
With liberty, and justice, for all except Donald Trump.

It's just their new narrative to exploit idiots and perpetuate orange man bad

This explains why my coworker was asking us about this today.

He thought he had a gotcha question, and as usual it blew up in his face.

Don't tell them about the Constitution, that would make their heads explode

Can we please just implement Project Mayhem for all media companies now? Please….?

CNN isn't that dumb to think it is a "threat to democracy" but CNN is smart enough to know that if they frame it that way, some people will believe it is a "threat to democracy".

Well, liberals can't and won't recite the pledge...

The only people that are a threat to democracy are the Democrats.

another "conspiracy theory" that is actually the truth. The left calls anything they don't like a "conspiracy theory" or "threat to democracy"

Wrong. Again.

Actually: wrong...like always.

Imagine carrying water for a ****ty news station that calls an indisputable fact a "conspiracy theory" by trying to "both sidez!!!!!" it.

The difference between a pure democracy and a Constitutional Republic used to be a commonly taught knowledge that was part of every civics/political science class curriculum, and was commonly understood.

This is what you get when the Marxists take over academia as well as the media.

The United States is a Constitutional Republic (Dear CNN a clue is in our country's name).

There are democratically elected officials at the national, state, county and city level but we are not Democracy. In order to protect minority views our Founding Fathers went to great lengths to prevent mob rule. The most serious threat to this original vision was the amendment removing state legislatures appointing Senators and institution of popular elected Senators.

It's a bad look for people that fundamentally know we as a nation are a Constitutional Republic but stumble explaining it to an agenda driven POS "journalist".

Over 2,000 years ago some of the greatest minds understood that strict Democracy was ill conceived.

• Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme form of liberty.

Plato

• "It has been observed by an honorable gentleman, that a pure democracy, if it were practicable, would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved, that no position in politics is more false than this. The ancient democracies, in which the people themselves deliberated, never possessed one feature of good government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity."

Alexander Hamilton, Speech to Congress, June 21, 1788

It ain't hard to understand.

A republic is a representative form of government that is ruled according to a charter, or constitution, and a democracy is a government that is ruled according to the will of the majority.

The gumps at CNN and the like will then say but shouldn't the majority rule? Morons.

You tried to say "both sides" were wrong. CNN/the left in general is wrong. Everyone who said it was a constitutional republic was right. So, therefore, you were wrong.

hope this helps.

And yes, you seem to take a contrarian stance to almost anything, including indisputable facts, to carry water for Dementia Joe and his band of lunatics.

The reason this is a discussion is because Democrats started claiming that Gore should be President in 2000, because he won the Popular Vote.

"We live in a Democracy, he won." So, they said.

They also claim Hillary should be President because she got the popular vote.

"That's how a Democracy works," they said.

Well, 2 things about our Republic that everyone should know:

1. We have a Constitution that recognizes our Declaration of Independence that proclaims certain "Unalienable Rights" that the Government cannot take away regardless of the label anyone wants to put on our form of Government.

2. We do NOT vote for the President. We vote for a slate of electors that represent our State.

We should NEVER give up the Electoral College. NEVER!!!

Democrats want to abolish the Electoral College and as a result move us to a direct election for President who would be selected by the majority vote of the entire population, regardless of state or validity.

If you ask 100 Americans who they voted for... 99.999% would not recognize the ECV.

THAT is the problem... not the label one might use.
