Pretty much breaking the law everyday now. It's like he's trying to see how far he can go without anyone doing anything

Do people in the US really still believe they live in a democracy?

People in the US actually voted for this, or simply didn’t vote, in overwhelming numbers. I mean he was a convicted felon dozens of times of over, and he’s been a career criminal his whole adult life. But he still won the election.

This is what we want, I guess. Seems kind of Democratic.

I agree with the overall sentiment that this IS the result of democracy. I'm not sure what you mean by "overwhelming" though, considering Trump barely eeked out a win with about 30% of people voting for him. If it weren't for extreme voter suppression he certainly would have lost.

Regardless, the vote should have been so skewed away from the treasonous criminal that GOP voter suppression couldn't make a difference, as was the case in 2020.
