Anyone who's followed me for any amount of time knows that I answer right-wing trolls with a non sequitur "America is a democracy," to demonstrate their reflexive response that we aren't.

I'm not sure I'm going to use the word "Republican" anymore, given the party is fully committed to ending our Republic—our *democratic* Republic—which is a democracy.

In much the same way, I now rarely use the term "The Civil War."
I now call it "The Failed War To Preserve and Expand Slavery."
