Robert De Niro claims Trump 'could destroy the world' outside Manhattan court
I don't understand why President Trump, specifically and uniquely, is "a threat to our very democracy." We had him for four years, and our "democracy" didn't end. In fact, in many ways things were much better during his presidency. I don't see any reason to believe that wouldn't be the case if we got for more years of him in the White House.
Also, why do Democrats insist on saying "our democracy" instead of "our republic?" I know a republic is a form of democracy, but it seems that they are deliberately using one term instead of the other. Republic has fewer syllables and is more accurate to describe our form of government. Or am I being pedantic?
