Has Trump pulled back the curtain to show us the illusion of our so called democracy?

Uh, it looks like it is holding up. Michigan, for example, said they will abide by the law and their electors will elect Biden. But the very fact Trump the would be dictator got as far as he did is a bit concerning.

Yes and look how long our doctors have wanted to attack Big Pharma and never had government support to do it.  President Trump did it.  He is truly an American hero for the American people.  He would make New York and California great states if the people would allow him.  They are riddled with crime and CA is burning to the ground and the homeless are everywhere.

Which illusion is that, specifically?  There are several possible false beliefs held by the US people concerning the nature of governance and where the power truly lies. I don't think trump has shown us anything except that the compact that allows the country to function is much weaker than anyone had ever believed.  That is, the country only works because we want it to work and act in ways that keeps it working. 

It can be disrupted fairly easily by the mischievous and/or malevolent acts of destructive people.  That is the lesson I have learned.  It is easy to tear down the house of cards, if you want to.  Most people simply do not want to because they know the alternatives are not going to be better and likely will be way worse.

The most positive lesson I gained from Trump actions is not really taught by Trump, but taught by the people who became fed up with the freak show.  We don't have to put up with the rule of the few if we do not want to.  I mean specifically the rich shadow rulers that offer us similar candidates to choose from so they never lose.  We can stop that if we unite against it.

Following some whack-job cult leader though, is not the solution.

No. He doesn't want us to panic. The curtain is something I had to draw back myself (with God's help). So I see the Marxist behavior in the USA. They are numerous, but they cannot hide their evil ways, patterns, and victims.

Obama was involved in the Haiti elections of 2016. Trump didn't talk about that, I'm not aware of it anyway, but Obama's pattern on treating black people poorly and abusing them is not something he balks at. 

We were never democracy, we are a republic.

Do you mean that Democracy disguised as a Republic.....

No, but he has shed some light on the Hypocrisy of the Democrats in this country and how far Left they are willing to allow their Party and the entire country to be dragged towards Socialism/Fiscal Insolvency just to buy the votes to stay in power.

Yes. The cult of government dependency elected a 47 year corrupt politician to carry the water bucket of total government control. Democrats prefer government slavery over constitutional freedoms. Remember when democrats totally undermined the democratic process, screaming fake russian collusion and even called for impeachment the night Trump was elected.

America is not a democracy -- it is a republic.  the point of a republic is to protect the rights of the minority from the majority -- which democracies have long history of NOT doing.

Trump has pulled back the curtain to show us how gullible his cult followers are.

Trump has certainly done his best to undermine the democratic process.  It seems chances are needed to ensure that the will of the voter prevails.
