The media in a democracy is basically the only power the people have.

Stop it, I'm laughing my ass off! You're too funny!

Don't forget, the majority did not vote for him and the majority does not approve of him. Trying to remove a man who got to power by a minority is the most democratic thing you can do.

Great idea. Maybe except for the fact that there has probably never ever been a POTUS who was actually voted for by the majority of the whole population. And the same applies to almost every democratically voted government around the world in history.

One of the few exceptions might actually be the "democratically" voted government of the "german democratic republic" ("east germany"), where voter turnout was indeed very high, yet people could basically only vote for a single party. The bad news is: If that's your kind of democracy, you're about 30 years late.

What about Australia where voting is mandatory
