But our country is NOT a popular democracy! It was setup as a Constitutional Republic exactly for this reason.
Exactly, no nation has tried direct pure democracy in 2500 years, and MAGA ran on "America is not a democracy" for a decade and now suddenly Athenian democracy is their new iPhone, their new toy.
Nope, we are a constitutional representative democratic republic.
And the Constitution says that insurrectionists can't run for President, EVER.
