We are a Republic d—-ass! Pure Democracy is for fools and tyrants.

This is a recent rupture after the post-1990s party alignments, when previous conservative Democrats switched to GOP while city folk abandoned the GOP. The alignment made Dems more numerous but gave the GOP a disproportionate electoral advantage. This is tearing "US" apart
