I would expect the US priority would be giving $33 billion to farmers to aid crop production, and also using those fancy emergency powers to prioritize growth and distribution of grains and feed stock instead of ginseng and canola?
Just food for thought...
Constitutional republic.
Not "democratic republic". They taught "democratic republic" in school to help indoctrinate children into believing that we lived in a "democracy", which is now what they use (they've since dropped the "republic" part).
A constitutional republic could still have democratic elections and remain a constitutional republic. Conflating democracy and republic and related concepts is how they've confused our younger population into believing we live in a democracy. This is how they have managed to turn our country into a failed state. Referendums are common place now, with big decisions being made in them.

I am not conflating the two. I believe that the word democratic, used as an adjective, can apply to various governmental structures as long as the people legitimately have a legally-binding say in who the ultimate decision makers are. Would you entertain the thought of a democratic, constitutional republic or a constitutional, democratic republic?
You seem to be arguing that democracies cannot have constitutions, as having one would make the government constitutional and therefore not democratic. Is that was you mean?
No I just mean that the people did not choose who was in power originally. When the republic was created it was much more akin to an aristocracy than what we currently live in now. This is why I was suggesting reading about Platos five regimes, because we started as a timocracy that was formed by something akin a very short-lived aristocracy (the constitutional convention). Then we became an oligarchy in the 20th century when many large private corporations and tycoons captured most of the government. Our form of oligarchy was referred to as a "corporatocracy". We've been descending into democracy for the past 15 years, which is quickly leading us to the final form / regime (tyranny).
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison founded the Democratic-Republican party in 1792.
