The USA is not a democracy but a republic of 50 sovereign states. Your estimation is correct. Even in the government of the US there are checks and balances of the democratic process consisting of the Judicial (US Supreme Court) Legislative (House of Representatives and Senate) and Executive (President) branches to protect the rights of all American citizens as outlined and stated in the US Constitution.You need to read the Constitution of the USA and all about the Republic. Such a statement above is pure ignorance.
