The whole "Constitutional republic" thing is a old John Bircher talking point from what I can tell.
The only horseshoe theory is "america isn't a democracy" and the critical difference is the appendment of "and that's good, actually".
I hope that there's a huge blue wave, and it stays blue, just so that I can say to them "America is a Constitutional Democracy, not a Republic".
That would require actually uprooting small-r republicanism from the government, when they can't even uproot large-R Republicanism
