I'm confused how you can say it's Americans doing it while recognising in the same sentence that it's happening outside of the realm of democracy.

We have democratically rejected democracy. That's what most people mean when they say "<x> electorate are not good stewards of democracy."
You don’t get to democratically reject democracy. That is like the first grade class president candidate that promises free ice cream for everyone when they get in office and then they realize that is not in their power. The constitution is above the president and above a single election.
Like all other public institutions these things only matter insofar as they have buy-in from the public.
