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. 

Not necessarily, North Korea is technically a republic.

No, it’s not. They have a hereditary head of state who enforces his rule with control of the military.

Who was the third head of state again?

Now I see what they got defederilized from Lemmy, so much blatant malinformation.
