Given Donald Trump’s hostility toward democracy, it’s worth pausing when he asks supporters, "Why are we having an election?”
By all appearances, Donald Trump really doesn’t like it when Democrats describe him as a threat to democracy, and yet, the Republican keeps saying things that reflect a degree of animosity toward the American system of government.
Take the former president’s rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, for example. The New York Times reported:
Trump said polls suggested he was at “93 percent” although it was not clear what that number was referring to. The former president said he responded by saying: “So why are we having an election? They didn’t have an election. Why are we having an election?”

I just want to be super rude to him. “Because the assassin missed. It’s not like you are going to respect the results anyway. The demographics that were against you in 2020 have only gotten worse.”
He confused octane with percent after dispensing himself a tall glass of premium that day.
Toddler crying face.
It is more than the GOP/Trump not liking the “American” way of government. I don’t know anyone who particularly likes it. It is because they are opposed to the very idea of democracy.
