How so?

That's what happened on election day, and even recent polls have shown that Trumps approval rating is high, the things that you might not like that Trump is doing, is the things he promised to do and that people voted for.

So how is that undemocratic?

So no i still 100% support democracy.

Id honestly love to hear why or how you think he is dismantling democracy since being elected?

To me that claim makes no sense at all.

More Americans have an unfavourable opinion of DJT than positive Indo. How do you reconcile this fact with your comments above?

I was going off the poll that was discussed here the other week as it was the only poll id seen, if things have changed so be it, but at the end of the day it's only elections that matter, voter's will have to wait another four years to have their say again. (that's democracy)

And many if not most leaders approval ratings fall once elected they rarely improve, because people aren't easy to keep happy.

Just because an approval rating falls or becomes less than 50% doesn't mean that democracy is somehow lost

I think many people here (and elsewhere) are just butt hurt cause Trump got elected and is doing shit they dont like, nothing more.

And what's worse is most people whinging or making silly claims aren't even USA voters so all theirs and our opinions are pretty much irrelevant anyway.

Michael Popoks law firm is representing one of the families affected by the downing of
Flight 5342 , which was hit by a Black Hawk helicopter, crashing into the Potomac River, claiming 67 lives.
Trump and DOGE fired hundreds of workers at the FAA a week after the crash.
The Department of Defence, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Trump government are being sued.

I wonder how many butt hurt MAGAs there are who have lost their jobs, their insulin going up from $6 to $80 , the price of groceries sky rocketing , the war in Ukraine not finished on day one but escalated on day 30 , MAGA farmers about to lose their farms because of lack of workers, no more produce for USAid and tariffs , and an alienation of all US allies.
Not to mention Chinese naval ships conducting unprecedented live firing exercises 230 KMs off the coast of Tasmania today or yesterday , , great outcome there guys!
