The two overlap each other in many ways and are not opposites at all. The USA started out as mostly a Republic but has transformed over they years to be more of a democracy. One main difference is that everyone can now vote as opposed to wealth white males being the only ones who could vote when this country first started. A correct label for this country in its current state would be a Democratic Republic or a Representative Democracy. Saying that the USA is a Republic and not a Democracy is similar to saying that yellow-green is not yellow.
