Democracy in Trump’s America
so for voters who think democracy isn't. working for them Trump is going to fix. it right this was the original appeal in. 2016 he may be a bull in a china shop. but like you don't like the way the. china shop looks right uh you may have. these grievances that were aired on. stage he is going to fix that now the. professionalized side of his campaign. says the it is inflation and immigration. and concerns that are like voiced by. broad swaps of Americans but people get. to hear what they want and I think the. idea is that many people feel alienated. by institutions.
and he is saying he will fix it he will. break it and he will do it in whatever. way he thinks is best and you should. trust him as this One Singular figure as. he's presented himself for eight years I. mean one thing that I think is important. to note here is that he is putting. forward with this a very different form. of American government and is not. necessarily as Democratic as we think of. American government to be he is in a. situation where his opponent the Harris. campaign is calling him a fascist he has. his.
officials as we talked about last week. coming out and saying he uh would use. his power to prosecute his political. enemies and instead and opponents and. and he names them I mean there's been a. series of interviews he's done on Fox. News where the Fox News hosts say this. is metaphorical right you don't actually. mean these actual people who oppose you. and Trump says no no I I do I mean Adam. Schiff and Nancy Pelosi right so he is. saying to America I will prosecute my. political opponents uh I will fire Jack. Smith I will change the justice.
department maybe Deport him I will limit. the independence of the justice. department he is putting forward very. clearly for all of us to see a very. different form of American government. and I think a less Democratic one.
