Historically, there have been slightly different definitions of democracy, but now there is also this new, modern term also called "democracy," which is a completely separate and different concept from the concept of democracy that people traditionally understood. The point is that terminology unfortunately changes with the times. We need to fight against this as much as we can, though it may be futile.
Someday "nationalism" could mean something entirely different and possibly antithetical to what it means today, we’re almost there with people calling civic nationalism just “nationalism.”
