There was an opportunity after his first term and nothing came of it. His actions were indicative enough and yet he's back again. People are asleep at the wheel and won't wake up until they crash, at which point it's usually too late. And if by some miracle they survive without being severely handicapped for the rest of their life they don't learn and repeat the mistake a few years down the line!

The slow system was not able to do shit in 4 years.

Not to mention that democracy (control by the people) itself is merely an empty label, like "control of the means of production", because people are also controlled (influenced to a great degree) by many things.

In this case, it seems, the neoreactionary movement convinced a critical mass of people.

Even though Trump's approval rating is the lowest of all presidents, and will likely continue to drop, but will that be enough to get an anti-Trump supermajority after the midterms? (Unlikely.)
