Democracy is defined as a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections. It is tragically laughable now to be reminded of this given the way democracy in the US. has evolved. Karl Marx was wrong on many things according to many historians, but he was spot -on when it came to the nature of democracy in capitalist societies:
In any given historical period, the ideas that people generally think are the best and most important ideas are usually the ideas of the people in charge. If you have a lot of money and own a lot of property, then you have the power to propagandize your worldview and you have incentive to avoid appearing as if you're propagandizing your worldview.
In other words, the ruling ideas of every epoch are the ideas of the ruling class. And just who is the ruling class in the US? Take a look at the following to get an idea.

And to those who aggressively hold on to their illusions, my pity.
