Foolish nonsense.

Republicans have never ruled the country, nor have the democrats.

We are still marginally a constitutionally governed, representative republic with a 535 voice legilature which represents hundreds of opposing views and agendas.

We do have a dictatorial judiciary which can override the elected legislature and codified law on a whim. But the judiciary at least maintains the appearance that the executive and legislative branches have a role in the governence of the nation.
