you guys really do hate democracy, don't you? and also, definition of democracy: a system of a system ofgovernment by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.
pretty sure it is.

Mob rule, or Ochlocracy, is the dark side of Democracy. And I fear it is what the west is moving toward. :-(

I fear there are elements of our government that use the mob to their advantage, to gain power.

Right to citizenship? Immigrants have a right to citizenship just by getting here?

No but people born here do. And Trump is against anchor citizenship.

I am against people who bring their children to be born here as part of a tourist excursion. Or people who cross the southern border solely to have their children born here. There are literally thousands of people who draw welfare checks from the US and live just across the border. So birthright citizenship is certainly something to be reviewed.

And so Trump is against citizenship for some people as I stated.

The refugees at the border have been continuously denied amnesty.

He is firmly against anchor citizenship and his base have attacked first generation citizens and citizens born here to foreign parents who may or may not have been citizens. He is against DACA, which the Supreme Court ruled the executive order that created it as constitutional.

He voiced his interest in going after due process and guns in 2018 after the Parkland shooting killed 17. "Take the guns first, go through due process second," Trump said. "Allow due process so no one's rights are trampled, but the ability to go to court, obtain an order and then collect not only the firearms but any weapons," Pence said. "Or, Mike, take the firearms first, and then go to court," Trump responded.

He has sent federal officers in unmarked vans that are taking people, including journalists, off the street who are not commuting a crime or are not being officially charged with a crime is not only a violation of the right to peacefully assemble but also due process.

And he is purposely underfunding the USPS during a time of crisis where mail-in and absentee ballots may be crucial in allowing people to vote. He even went on record to say, “They need that money in order to have the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots,” Trump said in an interview with Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo. “If they don’t get those two items, that means you can’t have universal mail-in voting because they’re not equipped to have it.”

I’m happy to provide links if you’d like...

Well, thanks for responding. Regarding the refugees, amnesty is not like candy on Halloween; it's given to people fleeing persecution or war, and even then it's not a guarantee. Just ask Obama; he turned away a lot of (I think) deserving people.
I am also against anchor babies and DACA; you are welcome to disagree with his policies. But if you want to discuss the Supreme Court's ruling, then don't forget that they stated, in essence, that Obama could sign an executive order and Trump COULD NOT rescind it, IN SPITE of Article 2 of the Constitution.
Regarding the 2018 quote, has he done that? Or has he made any effort to remove due process? If he did, he would have 900 federal judges slapping him down within hours. We on the right have learned to ignore a lot of what Trump says, and watch what he does closely.
The whole "secret police" thing has been debunked, like so many other accusations made up out of nothing. I'm sure you know very well that federal officers in uniform were chasing down rioters who were trying to destroy the federal buildings -- with people inside.
Regarding the USPS, you should check out some news sources outside of CNN. Refusing to send them $25 billion extra is not the same as "underfunding." MSNBC tells you that there are no examples of fraud in the mail in voting, while the rest of us read about the dead people voting in LA and the ballot stuffing in Philadelphia. Yeah, it's a real thing. We need to cast our votes in person.
But really, these are not the items you listed at first, for the most part. The fact is, the main stream media calls him a tyrant out of one side of their mouths while cursing him for not overruling the states. It really doesn't matter what he does, they will hate him because he is not part of the ruling elite.

I read a plethora of news sources, thank you very much. And I'm actually getting a majority of my information from Fox News, not CNN. I even quoted my source as Fox Business insider. The quote was directly from them.

The fact of the matter is, some of us conservatives are also listening to him and watching his actions and he has fallen utterly short on not only keeping his promises but also has worked to not only destabilize our government but our country. Dividing it by using everything as an opportunity to benefit himself either politically or financially.

He may not be a typical career politician, but his actions certainly paint him as one.
