Democracy or Republic?

Can't argue with the man. Maybe you can.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

apparently there is a tradition in some corners of using the term "republic" to indicate a non-monarchy or non-dictatorship that has less democratic elements than others

I don't think that is too universal and doesn't interest me much
