Trump's campaign included promises to challenge democratic norms, such as threatening to use military force against political opponents and altering the civil service. His victory reflects a divided electorate, with many feeling alienated and seeking drastic changes in governance. As Trump prepares to take office again, he aims to reshape key institutions and policies, including immigration and the justice system. His approach has raised alarms about potential threats to democratic practices, even as he claims to restore democracy.
