    It's a conservative thing, they love to pull out the "we're a constitutional republic, democracy is MOB RULE!!" line to own the libs when they complain about the electoral college

    Realistically "republic" just means "non-monarchy," i.e. a system of representatives (democratically elected or not) instead of a monarch. 90% of the world from North Korea to Yemen are constitutional republics.
