Republicans have “republic” in the name, and so the pedantry of whether or not America is a “democracy” or a “republic” can be weaponized by them to look smart and make their party seem more understanding of “American values”
It's just how reactionaries rationalize the existence of the senate, electoral college, and other undemocratic institutions that help maintain their privilege.
Also love the "actually this is a republic" pedantry in the top comment
