9. Shouldn't we first worry about whether there will be a midterm election?

Is it a fantasy to think the Democrats will ever be in power again? The Trump administration breaks the law and the Constitution every single day and it seems they are getting away with it. Refusing to hold an election will just be one more step toward dictatorship. How will we respond?
Regarding the problem of right wing media, I agree with you. However I think a bigger problem is the more general consolidation of power in a few corporations in many aspects of our economy. What ever happened to anti-trust
Legislation? The Democrats were sleeping at the job when they were in power and now we’re stuck with powerful oligarchs in many different industries having outsize influence in all realms of US policies.
