Noted, but I'm arguing that's what needs to happen and what he should be setting his agenda to do.
If not, I think there will be trouble. As we have mostly argued, Trump lost as a result of his personality, not his policies. We've seen from the polls how many US voters went Democrat purely to remove the man. This emphatically did not translate to a National swing behind Progressivism.
That being the case, progressive ideas almost certainly have a natural culminating point not much further down the American road. At that point, a public push-back will begin. If the progressive response is a resort to authoritarianism, there will be an increasing public backlash, and so on. This could see a Trump successor returned with enhanced powers.
This is exactly what happened over BREXIT. Successive attempts to move in an authoritarian direction, supported by much of our National elite, but in defiance of the 2016 vote, met with a progressively more neuralgic public reaction. It culminated in an 80 seat majority for Boris Johnson. Little people may not own the airwaves, but they still have a vote.
I concede that there are some powerful imperatives in the Progressive case, but it is just that, a case. In a democracy, a case has to be argued and voted upon. It cannot be imposed, however much our elites may feel entitled to do so...
