> Donald Trump was elected president

Oh no, the end of the world is upon us, how could the people chose _that_ kind of guy as president. The people where meant to chouse _our_ woman it was _her_ turn.

Ironic really, you are scared of democracy ending yet as main reason why, because democracy worked.

You left out the important part: Trump incited a violent insurrection against the government based on a transparent lie with, so far, no negative consequences.

Trump's election was not a failure of democracy, merely a failure of common sense among the electorate. The failure of democracy began when Trump tried to get the secretary of state of Georgia to "find 11,000 votes". It continues now that he is successfully promulgating the Big Lie. It will be complete when he is "re-elected" in 2024.
