You act like our institutions haven't already been ineffectual smokescreens for power to work behind the scenes. Trump's election is the most democratic thing to happen in decades. People are just shocked to find out that an elected representative actually has the power to do things other than sitting there like a puppet.
This is the work of decades long degradation, of pushing narratives, of selecting people into positions.
Yes it has been a slippery slope. And now an avalanche, like planned.
The work is you. You should be fed with so many distractions, so many logical fallacies, such that in the end you will say
They are the few. You are the numerous. So you should excuse them for what they do. You just did.
I can easily just turn around and say something like:
"The work is you. You should be fed with so many distractions, so many logical fallacies, such that in the end you will say
> Trump's presidency is the beginning of a fascist coup to destroy Democracy"
At this point, this is not a struggle over reality-consensus, it is just a battle of who's propaganda is more convincing.
My friend, the world is not binary. It is not Dems vs Reps. It is not a matter of perfect democracy, and fascist tyranny, with nothing in between.
The goal is the latter though. The super wealthy and powerful head to an era where they decide what happens, they do not want the rules and the law apply to them.

Angry about a transgender you have never seen? Good, very good. They want your power.
