I am not very optimistic about the success of a pushback against Trumpism and the very public blossoming of this tech billionaire oligarchy.

While the anarchic quality of social media protest may feel empowering and positive and wavelike, I don't have high hopes for its effectiveness for two reasons:

1. I can think of no historical examples of leaderless revolutions that have been lastingly successful.

2. The virtuality of the present erodes concrete and embodied pushback in the real.
