Nobody has to say "end the republic". All that's required is for enough of us to just stop defending it and exercising it's authority.
You brought Ben Franklin into it, referring to his famous quote, “A republic, if you can keep it.” It seems you were reproving my position with Ben Franklin, and that would imply that my position of support for Trump would cause an end to the Republic. On the contrary, it is the first step in defending it that has been taken since January 20, 1989.
