National Sarkastische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei?
Damn, it was a long con joke all along! 🤯
It's like when US calls itself a democracy. :)
Demos-kratos = government of the people
Res-publica = thing of the people, as in government of the people
This is such a stupid talking point I can't believe it still gets parroted.
If you have elections for government officials chosen from the people, you are a democracy - there's no real high bar for that.
If you are an independent nation not beholden to any foreign power, you are a Republic. The American head of state is the US President chosen by the American people, not a King or Queen from another nation.
One does not exclude the other.
