Because no democracy would elect an authoritarian right leader?

People see Trump as a political outsider but he still spews the same authoritarian heavy government crap that most candidates do. Somehow we got stuck with a 2 party system, where both parties implement policy from the same political spectrum, and people think there is some sort of choice. The thing is Trump has made it clear he doesn't care about the system that has been setup and wants to go out of bounds on everything - seems like a great idea until you start to mix the idea that he is heavily authoritarian with the same ideals.
I guess I'll take the time to post links to articles talking about how authoritarian Trump is but it will be ignored for being from "establishment media":
From statements of how he will expand Obama care to make sure everyone has health insurance: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-60-minutes-scott-pelley/
Donald Trump: There's many different ways, by the way. Everybody's got to be covered. This is an un-Republican thing for me to say because a lot of times they say, "No, no, the lower 25 percent that can't afford private." But--
Scott Pelley: Universal health care?
Donald Trump: I am going to take care of everybody. I don't care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody's going to be taken care of much better than they're taken care of now.

Force private companies to hand over sensitive trade secrets to help in investigations that the company has not been implicated in.
Removal is the go to reaction for political dissent. It is important to note that how Trump is handling protesters is significantly different from any other presidential candidate we have ever had.

The guy has given money to Clinton (and numerous other major Democrats) to campaign on multiple occasions and was considered a Democrat before any of this started. Why people think he is out fighting for their best interests is beyond me - Trump seems like just as much of a snake as Clinton.
Trump is a threat to the status quo because he has no history of formal involvement with or participitation in the established political structure. These people are hierarchical creatures and if you violate their social structure they will chimp out. All geopolitical plans are in jeopardy if someone outside the club takes control of the U.S.
I doubt they are going to want to defer their plans by 4-8 years - the strategic landscape is at a crucial point - so expect every single stop to be pulled out, including assassination. Most likely though, will be vote rigging.
I've heard rumors that opposition has been organizing into a decentralized network in case Hillary steals the Presidency.

Why aren't people protesting Hillary? I mean, she has been proven to be the worst choice out there, and people are rioting over Trump's haircut. Is Hillary so wealthy that she is immune to stupid people? I don't think that amount of wealth exists on this Earth.

I always find it hilarious how liberals are 100% for the democratic process until the candidate they don't like is winning/has won. Then it's all about "we need to stop them!" or my personal favorite "the people don't want this"
Obviously the people do want Trump or nobody would be voting for him. What you mean to say is your entitled little whiny bitch ass doesn't want Trump and therefore nobody else's opinion matters.

To which I would say the large majority of people are mindless sheep. It's like saying everyone is doing it so I might as well too. Not the best logic. As far your statement
In an un-flawed system where votes did actually count towards the eventual outcome sure, but that isn't where we find ourselves.

The majority of people do seem to echo that exact sentiment, being mindless sheep and all
