America is a Republic and not a democracy, there’s a difference!
🎯🔥👇🔥🎯

This meme explains something every American should have been taught before they ever left grade school.

The United States was not designed to be a raw democracy, where 51 percent of the people can vote away the rights of the other 49 percent.

We were built as a constitutional republic, and that distinction is not some academic technicality. It is the whole ballgame.

In a pure democracy, the majority rules. That may sound nice until you realize what it really means. If enough people decide they want your property, your speech, your business, your savings, your church, or your freedom, then the mob gets its way.

That is not liberty.

That is legalized theft with a vote attached to it.

The founders understood this danger. They knew human nature. They knew passions rise, factions form, mobs get angry, politicians exploit fear, and majorities can be just as tyrannical as kings.

That is why they gave us a Constitution.

The Constitution was not written to protect the government from the people. It was written to protect the people from the government, and yes, from the temporary passions of the majority.

That is what makes America different.

Your rights do not come from a poll. Your property does not belong to the crowd. Your freedom is not supposed to disappear because some politician found enough votes to take it.

A republic says there are limits. A republic says government must stay inside the lines. A republic says the individual still matters, even when the mob is loud.

And that is exactly why so many people today want you to forget the word “republic” and chant “democracy” instead.

Because a democracy gives power to whoever can stir up the biggest crowd.

A constitutional republic protects the citizen from that crowd.

America was given a republic. Keeping it requires people who understand what was handed to them.

British comedian Pat Smith brilliantly points out the hypocrisy surrounding the subject of mass migration in the UK.
