#Trump is not some anomaly foreign to US democracy. He is a product of the system itself, and as China Miéville iterates (within the context of the #Biden presidency), the very state itself is the growing danger:
“The US state … represents an immensely powerful roadblock to any program of change, no matter how mild. And the situation is worsening.” (A Spectre Haunting)
The roadblock is due in part to centrists who while horrified by Trump are not horrified enough by the electoral college.
