I live in a democracy you live in a thing pretended to be a democracy. You are expected to fight to defend a government which doesn't represent you and which arrived ther against the will of the people. Good luck with that.
Please share where you live, so we can judge whether this "true" democracy of which you speak is really the utopia you claim democracy would lead to.
It doesn't take university studies tu know what democracy is, you may not went to University but for sure you went to highschool and there ou will learn that Democracy means One Citizen One vote. and that only tells that the electoral College is the MOST ANTIDEMOCRATIC SIMULATION EVER CREATED.
We learned it in high school, not a university/college. Both American Government and American History were required for graduation at the high school that I attended.

Many times, you have been told that the US government is not a democracy, but a republic.
As I said the thing here is that NO Trump is not a democratic President as you actually stated, stop pretending that you live in a democracy cause you don't.
AND YOU MUST ADDRESS THAT ISSUE.
Trump is the President of the United States and won per the guidelines set up about 150 years ago or more. There is no issue to address other than your misunderstanding of our government which you seem to refuse to address.
The Electoral college, and I am sure some of us remember these on Saturday mornings to reinforce our education:
dictators arrive by antidemocratic means. but your president arrived through a "democratic election".... how democratic is a winner who actually lost?
Again, please educate yourself on our government and elections for a better understanding:

Personally, I would prefer we switch from electoral college to popular vote. I'm in favor of greater democracy.
I think that would be too dangerous with the corruption in the election system at the present time, but if it were cleaned up, one person entitled to vote voting one time, it could work, but how to get to that point would be the trick.

You mean the 3 million illegal aliens in CA, yeah, they shouldn't have been voting anyway, this is one of the reasons that the electoral college is a good idea, cheating/fraud!

Our military is all volunteer, and they fight for our government/country as it stands when they are required to "fight" for our country.

If you live in a democracy, that isn't the US, so your opinion doesn't really hold any weight as you would have no entitlement to try to change OUR government laws/rules. I am sure that your country probably has issues that need addressing, so I would start there to be proactive.
