The moment Trump stoped taking constitution as word to abide US became something else than constitutional democracy. I’m very sure no one voted for that. So why no one raising the issue with it? It is at least abuse of election system, trust of voters, and covert insurrection.

The Heritage Foundations and Federalist Society, among others, have been dismantling the Constitution for decades. Trump didn't create the problem, just exploited it in the dumbest way possible. Project 2025 was the end game, not the beginning. For that you have to look to the Powell Memo.
