Modern democracy is a stupid majority being controlled by an evil minority so it would be more accurate to say "Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner, and the sheep convincing the wolves to eat grass."
Please, since we're not in the States try to use normal political terminology. Your are describing the difference between a constitutional representative democracy and anarchy. The U.S. Canada, Australia, the U.K., etc are constitutional representative democracies, so say so. A republic is simply a form of government that doesn't have a monarch, it has nothing to do with democracy, tyranny or anything else. My advice is expand your political science education beyond sovereign citizen web forums.
Just clink the post and there is a one question poll from CTV. It only take a couple seconds. Thanks!

What the hell is the difference between a "republic" and a "democracy"? North Korea, China and Iran are all republics. Americans are just weird.
Could you please let Ben Franklin rest in peace? By your definition every western nation is a "republic".
