All this nonsense post-2016 about how Trump's victory illustrated the dangers of the democracy when most people voted against him. Twice now. Meanwhile the holy institutions we're all supposed to be praying to and prostrating ourselves before have saved or elevated him at every opportunity.
And there's no chance that he'll get the most votes this time around either. The screwed up EC institution is the only thing that makes him a viable candidate.
Institutions are fundamentally about protecting and serving people! Shared this by Frederick Douglass a bit ago. Society is superior to its forms, the spirit above the letter, the people more than the country and superior to the Constitution. When institutions protect fascists, we go around them.
