It's a common thing rightwingers say—"America is a republic, not a democracy!"—because they know at some level that their ideas are not popular and that if elections in the USA were actually fair, they could never win. I think it's true, though, that amerikkka is a republic—a slave republic, just like Athens and Rome, where the only people with any kind of political power are the ones who got rich by crushing everyone else.
