It is not demoncracy, that is the propaganda. The Republic is the Latin word for public affair. We got lucky enough to have a Republic setup to create the fiction called the USA. The word demoncracy does not appear anywhere in the constitution (still even after amendments). Demoncracy seems to be what the modem press is using to hide the republic and push collectivism (give up rights for the greater good). I'm not saying Repulic is the right word ether. Basically, anything other than demoncracy will do.
