Republicans state again and again that "we are a Constitutional Republic." Most of them believe that the modern Democratic Party is actually a communist conspiracy to destroy our Republic. They forget that we are actually a Constitutional Democratic Republic. There was a time when Democrats and Republicans worked together to promote a stable society and prevent both communism and fascism. They admitted that each side knew some things better than the other side, and they compromised to reach agreements. I am hoping more Democrats will be elected, and also that more reasonable Republicans will be elected.
