Why not point out that before Nazi Germany rolled around and pissed everyone off (
and America joined the war), America used the Roman Salute?
Pic.
America is most certainly a Republic. Being in a democracy would suck. Can you imagine having to vote on every single little thing?
...Not to mention the fact that lots of people wouldn't, namely lower class and lots of middle class, since there wouldn't be time to do it frequently. Therefore, it would be a lot more biased a system then the Republican system. (I mean that not in the sense of political parties, of course... but major parties are stupid.)
