Looks Like We're Not Going to Keep It

"A republic, if you can keep it, " Ben Franklin famously said when asked whether the Founders had created a republic or a monarchy.
Looks like we're not going to keep it. The reason? Republicans are outspending and out-talking Democrats to sway public opinion about impeachment:
U.S. President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign is countering impeachment efforts against him with a new surge in Facebook ads, while his Democratic rivals are saying little on the subject on the social media site or the campaign trail.
Living in a republic is no walk in the park, as we all know. But it sure beats living in a dictatorship, as we're all about to find out unless things turn around very, very quickly.
