Meh. True in some respects, but the standard definition of democracy as "rule by the People through elected representatives" applies. (Conveniently, "republic" has a similar definition.)
I think it's craftier to use the enemy's terminology against them. OUR side is the side that actually protects the democracy of our constitutional republic. By hammering that message, WE take over as the true champions of democracy for everyone, regardless of party affiliation. This way, saving our democracy just means saving our country, and we win.
Their side is not about democracy, but simply authoritarian-enforced sameness for all, with a fostering of intense envy of anyone who's a little better off than someone else through hard work, smarts, and innovation.
