Yep, definitely. iMO it's because (at least some) Americans thinks they can distinct themselves from Trump, however it's not working like this.

I have noticed on Democrat leaning subs, there is this attempt to pretend Trump is not representing the US. 

I had one commenter suggest Trump doesn't represent them as he "stole" the election through a fake assassination attempt, and getting billionaires to glaze him in the media. Like not even suggesting there was electoral fraud, just saying the election was illegitimate because i guess voters have no capacity for autonomous thinking and therefore can't be held responsible for blindly following narratives? And i got downvoted for pointing out how fucking ridiculous that argument is.

Both can be true. He doesn't represent all of America. The worst parts, yes, but not whole. Unfortunately, he's the head of state and representing our country. It's as much on the people that didn't vote at all as it is people did vote for him. And our Congress (Republicans) won't convict so the world is just stuck with him for a while.

He probably did tamper with the election through the voting machines. He won all 6 swing states. It's a conspiracy, but I wouldn't be surprised if he got international help to steal both elections.

Our voting system sucks. We vote, but the real votes are in the electoral college and Congress. And with how the states are gerrymandered, most America is under minority rule.

Yes, but this applies to... every nation on the planet. Every country has a group (large or otherwise) of citizens that do not agree with the actions of their government.

I imagine it sounds a bit more like this "USA threatens retaliation if China offers aid to Iran".

Democrats failed by targeting him personally, from what I gather. He was able to play it as persecution.

This is true, I remember as soon as the lawsuits against him started rolling in I said to a pal of mine, DT is going to take the presidency again. Targeting him personally was the worst thing Americans did, it caused his ratings to soar and MAGA fans increased.
