i would call that a democratic republic. but i tend to lean towards most governments if not all being a Kleptocracy or maybe a Mafia State in some form or another.
Exactly!
We all here know the US is not a democracy, no need to say 'except,' because the focus of his letter, and why I am sharing it, is to highlight that his prediction of mob-rule idiocracy, not only came true (in culture) but that also, this whole 'woke' Progressive crap, is a direct excretion and waste product result of this obsession with 'democracy' instead of 'enlightened/intellectual' rulers in a Republic or hell even in an Empire.
