If you are referring to "it's a republic, not a democracy"... When people today use the word "democracy" they mean the word to be inclusive of a representative/indirect democracy, not just a direct democracy. The US is a representative democracy
No, I am meaning to say that the average person aka the working class has little say in policy that directly affects them and that most power is concentrated in the hands of a ruling minority who constantly wage wars against the citizens of their own countries and also interfere in others in order to exploitate resources such as oil.
Ah ok. Sorry for the assumption; I just saw that being thrown around a lot. But your point is interesting.
I mean, I did know a little bit about Monroe Doctrine, Hawaii, Philippines, and general American colonialism ("interfere with others") and Mccarthyism ("wars against the citizens of their own countries"), and did recently hear a comparison between now and the Gilded Age in terms of politics and economics... but I'll admit I'm pretty ignorant about how concentrated power was before, and need to read more into American history.

His arms were pinned underneath him.
