>We the People.

And the majority of the voting American people have decided at the elections they want and support Trump's policies.

It doesn't get more democratic than that.





Ah come on. If you want to discuss let's discuss, but I would ask you to put at least some effort into your points.

> It doesn't get more democratic than that.

It does get more democratic than that: You vote for congress. You vote in your state, you vote in local county elections, etc.

If now historically your congress, your state, your county had certain powers which are now being taken by the President, I would argue that everything gets less democratic. Your vote and your voice matters less and less. I'm not arguing against Trump in particular here. I am arguing for democratic principles.

Maybe I am misreading your position, but it seems like you do not see democracy as changing in the US?
