Because

Republic = Republican

Democracy = Democrat

It’s the dumbest possible partisan culture war debate lmao

It’s amusing when Americans stumble across international politics and get upset when people use words like “democrat,” “republican,” “liberal” in ways almost entirely different from the American concepts

They can’t wrap their head around the fact that Bolsonaro and Shinzo Abe are liberals lol

Even funnier was the guy who got upset that Shinzo Abe was referred to as a conservative, when he in fact had been the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party or whatever it's called. The guy just could not understand that a part can be called liberal and still be conservative.
