Sources for those quotes would be very helpful for anyone interested in this, because I’ve certainly never heard this before.

We’re two years into his term and democracy does not appear to be dismantled, or even remotely at risk of being dismantled. I also expect the same or similar accusations to be leveled at the next Republican candidate, who if elected, will also not “dismantle democracy”.

I'm not American, I dislike Democrats and Republicans in the US, they're both horrible, just to preface this. Secondly, no other president has urged people to vote for them so people don't have to vote ever again, nor has any president threatened to put previous presidents in jail, nor has any president talked about wanting to skip the mid-terms.

I dislike politicians in general, but also, I'd be blind to not see when someone is extremely dangerous to democracy in general, beyond political affiliations. I'd say the same if it was Obama or who else, because as I said, I don't like any of them.

Asking for a quote of what he said so many times, and that is so easily found with a basic web search, says a lot about your comment.

He hasn’t said what the parent said he did, and in the peer comment linking a video of him saying something similar, the context supplies quite a different meaning than was implied above.

Thanks for the context.

He’s speaking to evangelical Christians that do not regularly vote, and in the context of instituting voter ID to secure future elections.

ID is required to vote in most (all?) EU states.
