What will we replace democracy with once we get rid of it?

[SuperDemocrat]

I'm kind of curious what will we replace the democracy with once we get rid of it. Does anyone have any ideas?

What will we replace democracy with once we get rid of it?

Since we've never, ever, been one what the fuck are you talking about? Oh right, you have no fucking clue...

"Most people, including most Americans, would be surprised to learn that the word “democracy” does not appear in the Declaration of Independence (1776) or the Constitution of the United States of America (1789). They would also be shocked to learn the reason for the absence of the word democracy in the founding documents of the U.S.A. Contrary to what propaganda has led the public to believe, America’s Founding Fathers were skeptical and anxious about democracy. They were aware of the evils that accompany a tyranny of the majority. The Framers of the Constitution went to great lengths to ensure that the federal government was not based on the will of the majority and was not, therefore, democratic.

The Constitution divided the federal government into legislative, executive and judicial branches. Each branch was designed to check the power of the other branches. The Founders did not want to rely only on the voters to check government power. As a result, citizens were given very little power to select federal officials."

I don't know how much of this is true but If the people don't have a right to choose who and how they are governed then someone else clearly does. Who is this mysterious person who can decide who and how we shall be governed?

They are known as the Elites. Since the Founders were such people it's hardly a shock that they formed a government based on that now is it?

Until you understand why we are a Constitutional Democratic Republic and not a Democracy, it's pointless to discuss American history. In you believe that We The People rule, you know nothing...
