That American Democracy has failed is debatable.

That it can be revived is not.

I would not advocate surrender to authoritarianism - but I would urge we all take an unflinchingly look at the systemic failures within our existing governmental system that allowed it to take root and (ultimately) to come to power. We are better equipped to resist after assessing our current situation and understanding how it was that we came to be here.

Isn't that part of the problem and his tactic in all this, as you can't just point to a list and say "all these things here", as there's so much dead catting going on, you can't keep up.
