It's not a democracy, it's a republic. Most people are so dumbed down they have no clue what the difference is.
re·pub·lic /rəˈpəblik/
noun a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.
Nothing in there about deep state actors having any say in anything.
It's not a matter of liking or not liking, it's about halting the spread of corruption in the world, and the US deep state and shadow government is probably the #1 source of corruption in the world.
The USA is a democratic republic. It's just that states that are actually Democratic Republics don't have to put it in their name, so all the ones that aren't, do.

Wrong. It's a "federal presidential constitutional republic".

Sure I like it. What I don't like is the corruption. Corruption is a cancer that is sure to spread, and I don't want my own country infected with it.
Oh, so there’s no corruption in Canada?

None of those are descriptors of how the Republic is given executive power, which is democratically. It is those things too. It is a republic and the representatives are elected democratically. The US is also a representative democracy
You see spectrum, there are many different types of words that can be used to describe one thing.
A democratic republic is a form of government operating on principles adopted from a republic and a democracy. Rather than being a cross between two entirely separate systems, democratic republics may function on principles shared by both republics and democracies.
In the US, the notion that a republic was a form of democracy was common from the time of its founding, and the concepts associated with representative democracy (and hence with a democratic republic) are suggested by John Adams (writing in 1784):
No determinations are carried, it is true, in a simple representative democracy, but by consent of the majority or their representatives.

My point was, yeah, let's make a list of unelected officials who think Trump should be impeached, and then let's pretend those opinions are worth more than the paper they are written on. It's laughable. Nobody gives a shit what a bunch of public servants think.
