2 months agoIt‘s not so surprising that the NYT does not know what a proper democracy looks like. They‘re American after all and never experienced one.
You will find that civil wars in a digitalized surveillance state are very short lived and that the masses don‘t actually hold all that much power apart from the few things they‘re legally allowed to do. So unless tens of millions just stop showing up to work across the country, I don‘t see how the citizens have any leverage whatsoever once the election is over.
