Where did I say opposite? The only thing I said was that republic is one of types of democracy. That’s it.
It’s not hard to understand when some subset is member of superset and that superset doesn’t contain another set, said subset doesn’t contain such set either. When I say “bus is one of types of vehicles” and get response “but horse is not a bus”, the only reaction is “no shit, Sherlock”. But when I say “representative democracy(AKA republic) is one of types of democracies” I get what appears to be swarm of angry Americans.
Americans are brought up to think “monarchy bad, republic good”, but in practice, mileage varies.
Looking at what I see about America, they look very monarchy-happy. Did you want to say French?
You’re saying monarchy is the opposite of democracy.
I’m saying monarchy is the opposite of republic.
This isn’t a matter of opinion. You’re just wrong. Monarchies can be representative democracies. The UK is a monarchy and it’s a representative democracy.
(But it’s not republic, because republic is the opposite of monarchy.)

You said republics are also called representative democracies. You also said the monarchy is the opposite of democracy.
Those are both incorrect statements.
I asked where did I say opposite. Not where we said same thing.
I am not saying the same thing as you.
You’re saying monarchy is the opposite of democracy.
I’m saying monarchy is the opposite of republic.

I’ll leave it here.
