As the American government falls into dictatorship, I’m struck by the fact that most Americans already spend most of their waking hours under the boot of a tyrant: their boss at work.
Why shouldn’t Trump have control over independent agencies? You wouldn’t expect, say, Google, to have an independent department inside of it that didn’t report up to the CEO. That’d be crazy.
The idea of running the government like a company, with a boss at the top with full executive power doesn’t feel scary: to most Americans it’s business as usual.
We need to remind people that this isn’t normal, and that it certainly isn’t democracy.
