    reminds me of my philosophy teacher arguing against someone because my teacher said that we don’t live in a democracy, but a lot of people disagreed.

    i still remember the look of disapointment in their face, since they had just told us the definition of democracy😭

      I love people who say “we don’t live in a democracy because we live in a republic.” Yeah, we don’t live in a republic either, bitch.

          They got it from American conservatives. Love idiot to idiot communication like this, two dumbass groups separated by an ocean using the same phrase incorrectly in different ways.
