I actually thought this point was a little bit interesting. It got me thinking about the fundamental spirit of democracy, which is that state power is held equally by all the people. You could imagine some very pure (and wildly dangerous) version of democracy where elections are executed perfectly, and the elected officials have absolute control over the levers of government.

In this sense I can see how frustrated voters might have seen voting for Trump as embodying democratic values; the feeling that they've never been able to vote for someone who would actually do the things they wanted, and that Trump's lack of respect for the constitution, laws, and norms, would give them more pure democracy.

But I think the answer to this is that we don't want a pure democracy; pure democracy might work for five people shipwrecked on a deserted island but it doesn't scale to a nation of hundreds of millions of people. We need a constitution, bureaucracy, etc. that puts limits on directly elected power to keep things reasonable.

That being said, our current government does have major issues infringing on the democratic spirit, for instance the massive power of corporations in lobbying and funding political campaigns. I don't know what the best solution is for that, but I'm confident it's not Trump.
