The minute you begin to take the Repblic for granted it will be gone... Democracy or Repblics are fragile things that always need to be watched over...Nobody has yet to come up with a Democracy that has llasted much past 200 years...the only real exception has been Great Britain..
Some people have argued that America ceased to be a Repblic at the begining of the Cold War..1948 and became a National Security State...
I think if the Democratic Party had fielded a Moderate canidate instead of a extremely Liberal canidate...they would have won the election...the great majority of Americans do not subscribe to the Liberal platform. The Liberal platform has yet to put anyone in the White House...starting with A. Stevenson back in the 1950's....
