In this thought-provoking episode of American Angst 101, Michael Bailey and his longtime friend and fellow political scientist Dr. Steven Taylor join forces to examine the phrase “We’re a republic, not a democracy”—a line increasingly echoed in American political rhetoric. What do people mean when they say it? Where did the phrase originate? And more crucially, what are its implications for American political identity?
Steven brings historical context and global comparisons to bear, highlighting how the phrase has been used—from Madison’s Federalist Papers to the John Birch Society to present-day partisanship—as a rhetorical shield for minority rule. Michael adds observations from years of teaching, noting the fervor with which students defend the phrase, often without understanding its roots. Host Dale McConkey keeps things grounded (and entertaining) with a playful “Newly-Friend Game” and a nod to the podcast’s signature angst. It's a spirited and sobering conversation about democracy, power, and the stories we tell about our system of government.
