On Medium: Trump’s an Avatar of Nature’s Inhumanity
Read on about the cosmic roles of liberalism and conservativism, and why it's a gross understatement to say that Trump poses an "inappropriate" "danger" to democracy.
The nations of the world are either autocracies (monarchy or dictatorship) or oligarchies (formal or informal cabals of military and/or economic elites). All routinely claim to be "public servants", working for the interests of the entire citizenry. As long as this image is maintained, by a mixture of propaganda and force, the autocracy/oligarchy remains in power. If it fails, the result is revolution and the eventual institution of a new, similar elite.
