Way to not read what I've been saying, lol.

Feudal, a "Republic" is a type of Democracy - Rex claims that it is not.

A Dictatorial "Republic" is in no way, shape, or form a Republic. It is a dictatorship, plain and simple. Can call it a "republic" all you want, but that does not make it one.

The first dictator elected in a country is usually elected in fair elections, just like Hitler was. It is their actions after the fact that make it a dictatorship, not the election itself.

The point I am arguing is, in fact, that they are the same. A Republic, simply put, is one kind of Democracy. Think of it as the rectangle just being turned to a different angle.
