MAGA: "We are not a democracy, we are a republic"....

... however. If the demagogue doesn't get it's way within the framework of that republic, he will still appeal to the mob:


And this isn't the first time either...


This is a similair thing Julius Caesar did, when he didn't get what he wanted inside the republican framework. He went outside, talked and aroused the crowd with emotions trying to invoke a direct responds of the mob instead of going through the channels that the Roman republic had set up. His actions, ended the republic in favor of a dictatorial regime.

... All those "republicans", that hold the word republic in high regards, should really explain to me, what "civic virtues" (a key component in a republic) Donald Trump embraces.
