I’m so sick of people saying “this is terrible for our democracy”, I don’t give a fuck about Democracy, I care about God given individual rights that are supposed to be protected by the Constitution. Democracy is fucking mob rule that leads to Socialism.

...and if your so-called 'God' cared about even your piss-poor 'Opinion', never mind your electoral 'rights', he would have ensured your Orange Deity would have won in an all-states landslide with 100% of the vote everywhere. So either (check one):
[ ] He now favours Joe Biden & the Democrats: and in doing so has basically told you lot you can fuck off
[ ] Democratic shit happens, and your 'God' never existed in the first place
Choose wisely, o ye of thedonald.lose .
So, what? 'I like when the Constitution said i can own slaves and guns, not the wordy bits about a democracy? The democratic process by which they took away my slaves, but also the drmocratic process that prevents them taking away my guns. Yeah, fuck that part."
Serious question here: Just how many Americans know what their constitution actually is? I mean in physical terms as an object let alone the specific written contents. Because a hell of a lot of them seem to think of it as some abstract philosophical imperative of "You decide what's right and fuck anyone else, aggressively, because if they think they have rights it means you don't."
From the Constitution
Article 1, section 2:
The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.
Article 1, section 4
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
15th Amendment, section 1
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude
24th Amendment, section 1
The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay poll tax or other tax.
You need to reread the Constitution. Also there's Constitutional law that rules on what is meant by each part.

As someone said, The Constitution, the Bible, and the book '1984' are probably the three sources most cited by people who nrver read them.
Across the history, we might notice that, the wider the political participation of the people is, the better are individual rights preserved.
Yes, that kind of ignorance is not good for democracy, neither is your fantasy about forcing your bullshit on others, contradicting the very constitution you mentioned. That's probably also why some states are fighting so much against education... Meanwhile, that democracy and freedom of religion (not the imposition of one religious ideology) is also what allowed your particular cult to thrive, so you're stupidly fighting against your own interests.
Confused?
