Demtatorship 

Government that, by all appearances, runs a country as a typical democracy with free elections. However, the political theologies have become so diluted, and the populace so uninterested in the process, that those in power (and their opposition) actually govern in a dictatorial fashion.
Most of those living in the free world believe they live in a democratic society, but in reality, because the people have essentially given up all say in their share of the power, most people live under a demtatorship.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
