That phrase pisses me off. We white people need to protect our democratic and peaceful societies from those who wish to do it harm, like undemocratic unelected Deep Staters.
But at this point, I don't think we'll ever get the American Dream back. Not without a few fascist years/decades to purge the socjus anti-Westerners.

What pisses me off about it is, America was never a Democracy, We were a Republic. Also the fact that,that is mainly a leftist thing to say.

You are a de facto democracy, and nobody other than of conservatives in the US cares about this distinction that makes no difference. Language has changed, and the terms everyone else uses are "representative democracy" and "direct democracy".
What does the word "republic" even mean? China and Iran are republics, the Soviet Union was a republic, but so are France, Germany and Poland. They first and last three are not even remotely comparable; stating that a state is a republic tells us nothing about how it's run. Other European nations are monarchies, but still hold elections and are in practice representative democracies. A clean split between an oppressive monarchy and a free republic does not exist today.

So what's the point of autistically sticking to a distinction made when your country was founded when it no longer has any connection to the terms that are used today?

(I suspect "conservatives care about the distinction" is the answer to my own question, it is a cultural and linguistic convention that shows one is part of the right tribe. Democrats / republicans, democracy / republic.)
