@Killer_Mule And herein lies the problem.
If we really want democracy (not the cargo cult theatrical democracy we've had for decades) we need to be serious about what goes on.
What was happening under decades of US politics was unelected groups acting like crime cartels. The UK is not particularly different. People still cling to daft ideas like *it's ok when my team do it* and *that team make a mess, my team sorts it out* as if there is a clear-cut distinction of *my team honest, that team corrupt.*
People may have faith in the new Trump administration to *drain the swamp, * but this may descend into revenge. He's had four years of shit hurled at him and he might want a bit of payback. Or his intentions may be honourable, but eventually the power will corrupt. Or he might be part of the controlled opposition and is there to ensure that people embrace a totalitarian takeover with open arms. There are historical precedents for all of these.
We're now in the very unpleasant position of knowing that it takes another crime cartel to oust an existing crime cartel. Or we can find ourselves a group of Untouchables. And remember that crime cartels will not go quietly. I expect a lot of *suicides* and *accidents* and possibly a *Valentine's Day massacre* or two very soon.
