The Threat of Trump to Democracy vs the Constitution or Republic

The statement that 2020 election fraud justifies terminating parts of the US Constitution repelled 47% of likely Republican caucus gurus, while only 14% said it made them more likely to support Trump. This indicates that challenging Trump as a threat to democracy might be one of his weaknesses. Americans are generally not excited about making changes to the Constitution. Trump's threat to democracy can be perceived as a threat to Democrats by Republicans, who want to be a threat to Democrats. The rhetoric around democracy and the Republic is important, and language plays a critical role in shaping perceptions.
