'Supposed to be' a republic...

The U.S. is neither a perfect republic nor a direct democracy, but a mishmash of those two plus plutocracy. Current trends have made it clear that we're a republic in name only. The real power lies with nameless unelected individuals who hide behind curtains and may not even be American.

I would agree with you that the nation was 'supposed to be' a republic - but for the fact that in a republic, citizens do not lose rights when tried and convicted by a court or targeted by a drone-wielding President. They are sovereign, and no entity or collection of entities has rights exceeding theirs.

As I understand it . . .

These United States is supposed to be a Republic.

With 'safeguards' built into it. And constitutional
rights. (Which have been systematically ignored by
the President and the congress.)

Fuhgetit.
