For most people, it is too taxing to be on guard 24/7 and they have other things going on in their life that are more pressing like paying rent. I don't blame people for not thinking twice about that Ring camera because unlike most open-source solutions, "it just works."
That's why it would be nice for democracy to work and give us some enforced regulations
I agree fully but I'm going to play devil's advocate and say the person who just won the election won the popular vote so whatever you are about to get is democracy in action because the majority of people voted for what is about to happen.
No it isn't. A democracy only works with informed voters. The amount of lies and obfuscation spewed by Trump's campaign is a successful attempt to deliberately break democracy. They don't have a mandate to do much besides mass deportation because they didn't talk about firing the entire federal workforce during the campaign. Project 2025 does talk about that but Trump lied during the campaign and said he disavowed it.
I think oligarch Peter Thiel gave away the game in this clip at 3:26 where he says "you can make pro Trump arguments but that's the democratic question"
