Actually the U.S. is a democratic republic

But that might be too complicated for your trump-humping pea brain to grasp

It's a combination of the two. Democracy and Republic.

No determinations are carried, it is true, in a simple representative democracy, but by consent of the majority or their representatives. John Adams, 1784

"If Trump is even half the dictator you claim, what makes you think there will be an election in 8 months?"

There is that. I have a shotgun for such occasions, but cancellation would probably create enuf like-minded people in town that I could pull off a non-violent sit down strike to shut down US 101 thru town.

Good question. I don't. If Trump feels like he is losing, he may cancel or postpone the elections.
Then we will see how many people are really loyal to the Constitution and to the country.

Off topic.....your name, Selectric II...

To have such familiarity indicates you're in your 80's.......was it a difficult transition to go from a Selectric II to a green screen PC?? I still have a Selectric gathering dust in my basement...
