Democracy is so pass in America... we aren't really a democracy anyway, just ask a Trumper.

Or ask Thomas Jefferson:

"The end of democracy and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations."

- Thomas Jefferson

Sorry, Tom, it's ended as of now.
