A constitution is, broadly speaking and at a minimum, the system of norms that says "who is in charge now?", "how much longer will they be in charge?" and "who will be in charge after that?".
The Democrats conduct isn't exactly what the statute says are violating technical aspects of our specific constitution.
Trump tried to violate fundamental aspects of our constitution,  aspects common to every other constitution in the world.

That's odd.  After I transpose your language explaining what the respective parties have done, it still reads the same.
