Democracy works both ways, we are free to vote for whoever we like, and not vote for who we don't. The December elections, Brexit, people voted, the most votes won, democracy right there. Yet people who voted in another direction refuse to accept, right or wrong, that's the opposite of democracy.
Firstly, Donald Trump actually lost the popular vote by three million votes, I believe, it was down to different states have different ratios of voting impact that basically gave him the win.

Who is refusing the democratic process? You simply don't understand that people can be unhappy with the way a vote goes, hell, Trump himself (and Brexiters back in 2016's referendum actually) denounced the vote as crooked when the odds were against him. The act of voicing that disapproval is not going against the spirit of democracy, it's simply voicing an opinion and the acts of impeachment and such are just branches of democracy.

You simply don't understand what democracy is.
