I follow you and enjoy many of your articles, but I have to question this statement. In Capitalist America, institutions such as science has been for sale for decades and what Democracy? Seriously, I see the word "Democracy" used on Medium quite a bit and I wonder what people mean when they use it.
What Democracy? What Democratic institutions? What leader or institutions have proven to care about the vulnerable or working classe in America? They all suck including Biden and Harris. Trump is just the most obvious self serving Capitalist piece of shit.
The fact that the man has been able to get away with all the things any of us would be already jailed for, clearly shows the Institutions have failed and Democracy never actually existed in anything but words when it really counts.
Trumpism is a cult, but so is Americanism. America was literally founded on slavery and genocide. What should any of us expect that it would not regurgitate up a Trump? He should be in jail, but the upper caste is why he isn't. I still greatly enjoyed the article.
