"Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
It can only exist until voters discover they can vote themselves
largess (generous gifts) from the public treasury. From that moment
on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most
benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy
always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a
dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations
has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this
sequence: from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to
liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to complacency;
from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependence; from
dependence back again to bondage.
(By Alexander Tyler Frasier, over 200 years ago.)

Sorry, NOT a Democratic Republic, there is no such thing...and it has
nothing to do with the electoral college. Read the Federalist Papers
and you will understand why the word "Democracy" nor the word,
"Democratic" does not appear anywhere in the Constitution, the Bill of
Rights, or the Declaration of Independence.
We are a Constitutional Republic, plain and simple.
Hitler had a Democracy...don't think that worked out so well did it?
Nine!

electoral
college...
