What it REALLY means when the GQP says "Republic" without the "Democratic" modifier

from Literally The Worst People in the World. · host Dermot Fenster

"Republics" come in two flavors: democratic and non-democratic.  In a democratic republic, representatives are elected to represent portions of the population and every citizen gets to vote on who those representatives will be. A non-democratic republic is the same,  except only the elite "first class" or "voting class" citizens have the right to vote.  The rest are "second class" citizens with no voice in how their lives are governed and posses only the rights and freedoms that the voting class decides to allow.  When Republicans refer to America as a "Republic" without the "Democratic" modifier, they do so intentionally because a non-democratic republic is exactly what they want America to become.  And you KNOW who they want that elite "voting class" to be.
