      This is very on point. I'd like someone to write a larger critique of the Atlantic's Democracy Decline issue.https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1040662148052070400 …

      There's a real scam on here: 1) falsely label Trump as a populist & ignore anti-democratic structures & actions (electoral college, voter suppression) that helped elect him 2) push for renewed elite power 3) perpetuate crisis that will give us more Trumps.

          Resistance, resistance, la di da. The question is do we want an Ancien Régime "Resistance" that restores the status quo pre-Trump? Or a Democratic Resistance that overturns the structures that made Trump's rise possible.

          When elites stop sucking Trump's dick we can start talking about renewing their power...

          Exactly. GOP should have told Trump GTFO. Then we'd have Rubio or Cruz. No doubt annoying to the Left, but hardly institution shattering. Instead, Democrats decide they want the same shit nomination system the GOP used to get Trump. We're doomed.

          Um, the reason we have Trump is the GOP was supine and didn't say "GTFO", like a real party should have. Democrats saw that example and decided "Let's do that!" The future looks bleak.

          anti-democratic structures and policy are important, and crucially neither party are delivering rising living standards which makes democracy possible. Stagnant incomes and a rising cost of living leads to demagogues and scapegoating.

          You won't get out of that situation you call a scam if you do not change the general ethos. Few want to lead right now because of the abuse it incurs. That's not merely structural, it's cultural.
