I don't think 5G was push undemocratically. A small group of people complaining and getting pushed aside is not undemocratic. They were a tiny minority.
I mean, starting with the question of whether or not 5G was “pushed undemocratically” sort of skips over the question of whether or not is should be a democratic decision…
It is a technical decision. We make the democratic decision to have organizations like the FCC to hold the technical expertise to evaluate whether something like 5G is a good idea. Deciding democratically as a country that we want to defer some questions to experts is a fine thing to do.
I haven’t seen any actual professional RF engineers worried about 5G. From my mostly lay point of view: these are not scary frequencies.
