Our country has never, and was never intended to be a "Democracy", so there's no need to respect the "fundamental principles" of something that isn't, and never was. We live in a republic, a federation of states united under one banner but independent unto themselves. Public schools are really doing this country a big disservice by teaching people this big democracy lie.

^ This. This guy gets it!!! For the 1,000th time we are NOT a Democracy we are a Constitutional Republic!
Including Donald Trump-back when he was a Democrat.
not they didn't
do a Google search. The electoral college was the reason they were saying Trump couldn't win, saying he had no chance at flipping enough states to get the votes needed to win
before the election they said Hillary had an easy path to 270 electoral votes and Trump had no chance
Because they lost. Duh.
