But it's worth remembering that, if it were, Trump would still have won. He won the popular vote. So, assuming that enough votes were legitimate, a majority of Americans actually do want the current health situation in the US, in fact arguably they want even less coverage.

We don't know if that's really accurate, because you're conveniently ignoring 2016. If Trump were never initially president, would he have ever become one?

Maybe, maybe not. But 2024 surely would have looked very different.

This only serves to reenforce the fact that the US is not a functioning democracy, if the will of the voters is not reflected.

Is it not? He did still win the popular vote.
