Tyranny implies unchecked power and absolute rule, yet Trump faced legal challenges, media scrutiny, and opposition from other branches of government throughout his presidency. Those checks and balances are part of what ensures your system continues to function.

Criticism of his actions, whether you agree or not, is also evidence that democracy is alive, people can freely voice dissent, protest, and challenge policies through the courts or at the ballot box. This is what distinguishes us from tyranny.

It's also worth considering that Trump’s approach resonated with millions of Americans who felt unheard by traditional political structures. They saw his actions as challenging entrenched systems, not destroying them.

Democracy isn’t destroyed by one person; it requires the collective actions, or inaction, of a nation over time.
