The remedy is to root out the fascism that lives to corrupt our once stable institutions of democracy. To be much more vigilant about it in the future, as this is certainly not the first time this has happened. It’s just the first time it’s happened to this extent in our country.

Democracy isn’t failing because of flaws i democracy, it’s failing because of laws in ourselves. For that’s what democracy stands for, and ultimately relies upon: people acting in good faith. When half the country refuses to do that, democracy simply doesn’t work. And they know that.

This is how autocrats, dictators, and fascists always come to power, they undermine a stable Democratic society by dismantling its key institutions, and then they point at democracy and call it a “failure“ just so that people who may not be too stupid to think, but are certainly too lazy to think, will give them power if they promise a solution to their woes. And that’s exactly what Trump has done.

We must fight back, in every way we can.
