There's definitely coordinated predictive programming going on in schools and in the media, as well as among politicians, to eliminate references to the republic. People need to be taught to demand mob rule (majority rule) rather than proportional representation, as the electoral college help us achieve in the USA. Without the electoral college, whomever the masses in major population centers want will be elected, and rural people and places would have no voice no vote and no influence. This is what the NWO globalists desire; hence the UN's depopulation schemes for rural America. Hypnotizing people into thinking of "democracy" rather than "republic" is part and parcel of that same agenda.
