We are a constitutional republic that was gaslit into saying democracy despite the founding fathers being anti-democracy from their writings which can be found by searching for "founding fathers democracy quotes"-- they all had bad things to say about democracy.

Postmodernism is the problem.

Remember when Communism was active worldwide? Nearly every Communist country would name itself "Democratic Republic of" or "People's Democratic Republic of". That's when I first suspected that democracy was a farce.

Democracy is just a mild form of communism

The king is a random guy born to be king, and royals in the long run reflect their civilization in a democratic manner. Republican rebels entirely understood their revolutions to be a tool for oligarchy against nobility and ultimately democracy.

Making elections bigger just makes them more expensive and strengthens billionaire oligarchs ever more. It's the complete opposite of democracy.
