There’s No Institutional Quick Fix to the Problem of Donald Trump
Institutions can’t stop Donald Trump — but democratic politics can.
Another electoral defeat might deflate Trump considerably, but the root causes of Trumpism — racism, soaring inequality and human desperation, mass alienation from political institutions, the devolution of politics into empty spectacle, the corrosive influence of organized money — would still remain unaddressed.
So, this just happened and I wanna scream, sob, and just give up at this point.
This is my family's safe person here (who's only in the office for 1 more HOUR) informing us that the inn owner texted her that he expects $500 from us TODAY.
I can't do this, I can't fucking do this anymore 😭😭😭
