This “not a democracy, a republic” crap is becoming more and more popular on the right. They’re not even trying to hide the authoritarianism and fascism any more. They’re now openly saying they don’t support democracy.

A republic is a type of democracy. This guy is an idiot.

I just looked it up and did not find a concise definition. According to the German bpb even dictatorships can be republics.
