And do not forget that the United States is NOT a Democracy we are a REPUBLIC that operates through the use of a Democratically Elected Government that the founding articles were written to HOLD AT BAY! The Founding Fathers never intended for you to EVER trust them in any capacity! When the news tells you that things "Threaten Our Democracy" that is a GOOD thing! They are admitting publicly that our actions are threatening the power they lord over us and that we are scaring them with our behavior!
