Not to mention the fact that a large majority of the Trump wing openly express hostility toward democracy itself. Many of them cast it as being wholly illegitimate in this republic.
Of course this is a huge mistake and a huge misinterpretation of the founders, who while eschewing direct Athenian democracy, fought even harder to preserve the institution of representative democracy.

To forego a move toward simple balance in light of that knowledge means that neglecting to strike a balance is guaranteed to usher in the most radical change in Western society short of the end of capitalism itself. And if we do dismantle democracy in this way, capitalism doesn't stand a chance, only Trumpers don't realize that.

We're basically trying to prevent Trumpers from driving the car over the cliff, and Trumpers have pulled out their guns in order that they DO drive over the cliff, taking the rest of us with them.

Sorry, this is no small thing, no small change, it's an enormous change, and not for the better.
