Are you saying Donald Trump represents America in the most literal sense - i.e. he was voted in as President? If you mean it in a more general sense, we know he lost the popular vote so you could say Hillary would have been a more accurate representation of the country... Are you also saying that any legitimate takedown of a high ranking government figure is bad for democracy? Surely that shows that democracy has the ability to police itself and weed out it's corrupt parts? I guess I just don't agree with your premise that Trump losing equates to democracy or the US losing... |
^ that.
A working democracy weeds out corruption.
The elected is supposed to represent the people, ei. they work for them, not abuse them or the powers their given.
