@Newdealcentrist @theLiberaven the Roman conception, from which we derive the term, certainly would not agree. Machiavelli (generally) and Kant also draw distinctions from monarchy. i am not as familiar w Mont as w the others, but perhaps this is peculiar to his thought
@Newdealcentrist @theLiberaven examples? iโve only heard republic used to differentiate from states with monarchies โe.g. Rome, Venice, Novgorodโwhether in classical or modern settings
@JulianFLpol if youโre concerned with the current state of the GOP, vote in primaries for moderate republicans. the more people who defect to the dems, the more the MAGA people get to change the party
