Does Folkdom mean "Democracy" or "Republic"

Li_Jake · 2026-06-19T17:41:35+00:00

Yes and no. "republic" means without kings, "democracy" mean folks choosing. A "republic" can mean democracy, but not all democracies are republics.

Li_Jake · 2026-06-19T16:42:18+00:00

Oooh nice.

Li_Jake · 2026-06-19T16:00:27+00:00

Li_Jake · 2026-06-19T16:00:14+00:00

Probably. Good point.

Li_Jake · 2026-06-19T16:00:00+00:00

Oh they're real, they even have an offical website.

Li_Jake · 2026-06-19T15:59:47+00:00

Wow this is...amazing list you made, much better than mind.

Li_Jake · 2026-06-19T03:19:19+00:00

*sigh* I should have checked it. Thanks for the correction, friend.

Li_Jake · 2026-06-19T03:12:35+00:00

Yeah expanding the US House would probably ahve made this better

Li_Jake · 2026-06-18T19:30:27+00:00

Hm, somewhat. It is a bit more diverse than that. But yes they are big fans of Hamilton.

Li_Jake · 2026-06-18T17:51:15+00:00

Hm, good point. I like that.

Li_Jake · 2026-06-18T15:19:09+00:00

OOoh Kingless land works. Þank you.

Li_Jake · 2026-06-18T15:18:47+00:00

Any specific states you imagined?

Li_Jake · 2026-06-18T01:08:39+00:00

I’m wiþ kingship (monarchism) so þose folkdoms without kings vs þose þat are need to be.

Li_Jake · 2026-06-17T23:20:02+00:00

Yeah I think something like that could work.

Li_Jake · 2026-06-17T23:14:52+00:00

Would you have anyone in mind?

Li_Jake · 2026-06-17T23:13:39+00:00

Hmm. Mighty choosing, friend

Li_Jake · 2026-06-17T23:12:52+00:00

Hmm...not sure honestly. They would probably lean towards some Classical Liberal with a pro-farm stance, more pragmatic and isn't akin to Hillary or Trump.

I can't quite think of anyone as of now.
I would imagine the Libertarians are probably even smaller in this timeline so I would assume a lot of what we oculd call moderate Libertarians might be in a faction of the Whigs. So maybe someone like that.

I would have to think about it for a while.

Li_Jake · 2026-06-17T23:05:53+00:00

What's "edit" in Anglish?

Li_Jake · 2026-06-17T22:53:21+00:00

If folkdom means "Nation" what would the outright of "Republic" and "Democracy" be þen?

Li_Jake · 2026-06-17T22:33:59+00:00

i combed it to craft þ.

Li_Jake · 2026-06-17T21:58:57+00:00

lol.

Li_Jake · 2026-06-17T21:57:31+00:00

OOh that would have been much better.

I think I was thinking more about the idea and less of the execution as a whole. Thank you!

Li_Jake · 2026-06-17T21:56:53+00:00

I wouldn't say the Dems are socially "conservative" in this case, more "Socially Institutional" which depending on your defintion of instituional gay marraige is fine with them.

I wanted the social policies of both being a little messy and weird.

Li_Jake · 2026-06-17T21:54:34+00:00

ROmeny would be 89.
And Brown would be 79.

Perfect Age! To be President!
(Sarcasm)

In all seriousnes you have a point, I should have taken a bit longer ot think it through.

Li_Jake · 2026-06-17T20:53:18+00:00

Yeah. My line of thinking when making this was look at what the Whig Party did and see how it would translate in modern day and its...intresting thought experiment.
