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.

i understand thinking you live in a democracy, but i've never heard people saying it's a republic 💀

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.

A republic has a specific definition but we absolutely do not meet.
