Why do American conservatives say that America is a constitutional republic and not a democracy? Would it not make sense to call America a constitutional republican democracy?

When Democrats go on and on about “our democracy,” they are literally bragging about the tools they put in place to keep the rest of us in our place! Remember, our constitutional form of government was established to protect the rights and freedom of all, not to advance the goals of a voting majority.

The thinking of our founders:

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

When the Democratic Party came along in 1828, it was with the primary goals of, one, dispossessing Indian tribes in the South of their fertile lands and moving them west to the territories, and, two, protecting slavery. In order to dispossess categories of people of their property and rights, “majority-rules democracy” is called for, and the Democrats ramped that up on all fronts:

In short order we got ballot initiatives, recall elections, referenda, direct election of Senators, a Bismarckian-style administrative state (allowing the great bulk of our legislation to be enacted secretly)… NOT power to the people, but power to the majority position. After all, through the half century of the Progressive Era, the progressive Anglo-Saxon-Protestant outlook numbered almost a super-majority of voters resulting in abominable acts against the rights of minority populations.
